HYMN.

FAMILY MEETING.

August 20, 1835.

In this glad hour, when children meet,
And home with them their children bring,
Our hearts with one affection beat,
One song of praise our voices sing.

For all the faithful, loved and dear,
Whom thou so kindly, Lord, hast given;
For those who still are with us here,
And those who wait for us in heaven;—

For every past and present joy,
For honor, competence, and health,
For hopes which time may not destroy,
Our soul's imperishable wealth;—

For all, accept our humble praise;
Still bless us, Father, by thy love;
And when are closed our mortal days,
Unite us in one home above.
