Lyics

THEE, Father, we praise

In harmonious lays,

For all thy rich grace,

Who gave us the knowledge of pardon and peace:

On thee we rely,

All our wants to supply:

O keep us each hour

From snares and temptations by might and by power.



O may we improve

In knowledge and love

Of Jesus our King,

Till to glory we're brought, his praises to sing.

While below, if we stray

From the source of true joy,

Let thy merciful hand

Restore and incline us to keep thy command.
