HYMN XCI.

[In vain are children taught to pray]

In vain are children taught to pray,
Or praise a God unknown:
Christ is the true and living Way,
And God and Christ are one.
Whene'er we think on God Most High,
Whene'er His praise proclaim,
We think on Him who stoop'd to die;
We bow to Jesu's name.
My God, in Jesus reconciled,
Declare Thyself to me,
If still an uncorrupted child,
Yet still I know not Thee.
To make my sinful nature pure,
Thy Spirit, Lord, impart;
And me from actual sin secure,
By dwelling in my heart.
