277. Praise to Him by whose kind favor

1 Praise to Him by whose kind favor
Heavenly truth has reached our ears;
May its sweet reviving savor
Fill our hearts and calm our fears.

2 Truth! how sacred is the treasure!
Teach us, Lord, its worth to know;
Vain the hope and short the pleasure
Which from other sources flow.

3 What of truth we have been hearing,
Fix, O Lord, in every heart;
In the day of thy appearing
May we share thy people's part

4 Till we leave this world forever,
May we live beneath thine eye;
This our aim, our sole endeavor,
Thine to live, or thine to die.
