A HYMN FOR ANY SCHOOL.
On this auspicious happy day
What incense shall we bring?
What grateful humble homage pay
To an Almighty King?
What incense shall we bring?
What grateful humble homage pay
To an Almighty King?
Be His dread name on earth confest,
As 'tis by those above!
What is the' employment of the blest,
But songs of praise and love?
As 'tis by those above!
What is the' employment of the blest,
But songs of praise and love?
The breath from heaven we did receive,
We thus in hymns restore;
And while we on His bounty live,
We'll wonder and adore.
We thus in hymns restore;
And while we on His bounty live,
We'll wonder and adore.
Rescued from want, and vice, and shame
We'll all our future days
Our great Creator's love proclaim,
And live but to His praise.
We'll all our future days
Our great Creator's love proclaim,
And live but to His praise.
25
May heart, and voice, and life combine,
His goodness to express;
May all that hear us with us join,
And our Redeemer bless.
His goodness to express;
May all that hear us with us join,
And our Redeemer bless.
