Lyics

Gracious Savior, we adore thee!

Purchased by thy precious blood;

We present ourselves before thee,

Now to walk the narrow road:

Savior, guide us-

Guide us to our heavenly home.



Thou didst mark our path of duty;

Thou wast laid beneath the wave;

Thou didst rise, in glorious beauty,

From the semblance of the grave;

May we follow

In the same delightful way.
