LyicsO God, thy grace and blessing give
To us, who on thy name attend,
That we this mortal life may live
Regardful of our journey's end.
Teach us to know that Jesus died,
And rose again, our souls to save;
Teach us to take him as our Guide,
Our Help from childhood to the grave.
Then shall not death with terror come,
But welcome as a bidden guest,
The herald of a better home,
The messenger of peace and rest.
And, when the awful signs appear
Of judgment, and the throne above,
Our hearts still fixed, we shall no fear,
God is our trust; and God is Love.
