Here may Thy saints be often blessed. 4 In weakness and in want we call On Thee, for whom the heav’ns are small; Thy glory is Thy children’s good, Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood. 5 O Father! deign these walls to bless; Make this the abode of righteousness, And let these doors a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to Thee!
