Author: Rev. Sir Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #12 (1899) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, God and Man,
On this Thy holy day,
To Thee for precious gifts of grace
Thy ransomed people pray.
2 We pray for childlike hearts,
For gentle, holy love,
For strength to do Thy will below
As angels do above.
3 We pray for simple faith,
For hope that never faints,
For true communion evermore
With all Thy blessed saints.
4 On friends around us here
O let Thy blessing fall;
We pray for grace to love them well,
But Thee beyond them all.
5 O joy to live for Thee!
O joy in Thee to die!
O very joy of joys to see
Thy face eternally! Topics: Childlikeness; Christ Divine-Human; Darkness; Lord's Day; Prayer; Saints Communion of; Unity Christian Tune Title: SCHUMANN
