Every pure and humble mind; Every kindred, tongue, and nation, From the dross of guilt refined: Blessings all around bestowing, God withholds His care from none, Grace and mercy ever flowing From the fountain of His throne. 3 Every stain of guilt abhorring, Firm and bold in virtue's cause, Still Thy providence adoring, Faithful subjects to Thy laws; Lord, with favor still attend us, Bless us with Thy wondrous love; Thou, our Sun, our shield, defend us; All our hope is from above.

It was a Sunday morning fair, When Jesus broke down our prison.
