LyicsGREAT God! the foll'wer of Thy Son,
We bow before Thy mercy-seat
To worship Thee, the holy One,
And pour our wishes at Thy feet.
O grant Thy blessing here to-day!
O give Thy people joy and peace!
The tokens of Thy love display,
And favors that shall never cease.
We seek the truth which Jesus brought;
His path of light we long to tread;
Here be His holy doctrine taught,
And here its purest influence shed.
May faith, and hope, and love abound,
Our sins and errors be forgiv'n;
And we, from day to day, be found
The sons of God and heirs of heav'n.
