16979. God Bless Our School

1. Our Father, ’tis to Thee
We bring this ear­nest plea,
God bless our school!
Give us Thy pre­sence here,
Fill us with ho­ly fear,
Make this a place most dear,
God bless our school!

2. Our Sav­ior from ab­ove,
Guide with Thy te­nder love
Our Bi­ble school;
Help us Thy work to do,
Our num­ber large or few,
Teach us to e’er be true;
God bless our school!

3. Spirit of God, so near,
Our Guide and Com­fort­er,
Rule in our school;
Here guilt of sin be seen,
Faith, hope, and love be­gin,
Souls dead be born again;
God bless our school!

4. Great God, blest Trin­ity,
Thou who art One and Three,
Bless this our school!
Now hear us while we pray,
Take all our sins away,
Meet with us this Lord’s Day;
God bless our school!
