LyicsGOD of our salvation, hear us,
Bless those youthful converts so,
That while e'er they are thus near us,
They may strong and fruitful grow.
Saviour, keep them--
Keep them safe from every foe.
May they live in view of heaven,
Where, they hope, to see thy face;
Save them from unhallowed leaven,
All that might obscure thy grace;
Keep them walking
Each in his appointed place.
As their steps draw near and nearer,
To the place they call their home,
May their views of heaven grow clearer--
Hopes more bright of joys to come:
And when dying--
May thy presence cheer the gloom.
