[To Thee, O Lord, our God and King]
To Thee, O Lord, our God and King,
Whose mercies ne'er decay,
We thus in artless numbers sing,
And thus our praise we pay.
Whose mercies ne'er decay,
We thus in artless numbers sing,
And thus our praise we pay.
Whate'er is human ebbs and flows,
As wasting time prevails;
But grace Divine no changes knows,
Charity never fails.
As wasting time prevails;
But grace Divine no changes knows,
Charity never fails.
From thence flow plenteous streams and clea
And may they never cease:
'Tis you who plant and water here,
'Tis God that gives the' increase.
And may they never cease:
'Tis you who plant and water here,
'Tis God that gives the' increase.
May He your pious alms regard,
Your warmth of zeal approve;
With ample blessings still reward
The labour of your love.
Your warmth of zeal approve;
With ample blessings still reward
The labour of your love.
May all the pleasing pains you share
Be crown'd with wish'd success;
The present age applaud your care,
And future ages bless!
Be crown'd with wish'd success;
The present age applaud your care,
And future ages bless!
