Be Thou the theme, and sweet and strong Shall swell our hymn of praise. 3 Thy hand, through all our days and years Has been our shield and guide; Through light and shade, through smiles and tears, What could we need beside? 4 And to Thy love, Thy sacred care, The future hours we give, All hallowed by the breath of prayer, Since by that breath we live. 5 O blessed Savior! in Thy name Let prayer and praise be giv’n, And safely, from this mortal frame, Conduct our souls to Heav’n!
