AN HYMN FOR THE GEORGIA ORPHANS.
Come, let us join our God to bless,
And praise Him evermore;
That Father of the fatherless,
That Helper of the poor.
And praise Him evermore;
That Father of the fatherless,
That Helper of the poor.
Our dying parents us forsake;
His mercy takes us up,
Kindly vouchsafes His own to make,
And God becomes our hope.
His mercy takes us up,
Kindly vouchsafes His own to make,
And God becomes our hope.
For us He in the wilderness
A table hath prepared;
Us whom His love delights to bless,
His providence to guard.
A table hath prepared;
Us whom His love delights to bless,
His providence to guard.
Known unto Him are all our needs;
And, when we seek His face,
His open hand our bodies feeds,
Our souls He feeds with grace.
And, when we seek His face,
His open hand our bodies feeds,
Our souls He feeds with grace.
Then let us in His service spend
What we from Him receive;
And back to Him what He shall send
In thanks and praises give.
What we from Him receive;
And back to Him what He shall send
In thanks and praises give.
