The importance of educating youth
Author: D. Bradberry Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Times and Seasons Youth Educated; Education of youth; Youth educated First Line: Now let our hearts conspire to raise Lyrics: Congregation:
1 Now let our hearts conspire to raise
A cheerful anthem to his praise
Who reigns enthron'd above:
Let music, sweet as incense, rise
With grateful odours to the skies.
The work of joy and love.
Children:
2 Teach us to bow before thy face,
Nor let our hearts forget thy grace,
Or slight thy providence
When lost in ignorance we lay,
To vice and death an easy prey,
Thy goodness snatch'd us thence.
Congregation:
3 O what a numerous race we see,
In ignorance and misery,
Unprincipled, untaught!
Shall they continue still to lie
In ignorance and misery?
We cannot bear the thought.
Children:
4 Give, Lord, each liberal soul to prove
The joys of thine exhaustless love;
And while thy praise we sing,
May we the sacred scriptures know,
And like the blessed Jesus grow,
That earth and heaven may ring.
Congregation:
5 We feel a sympathizing heart,
Lord, 'tis a pleasure to impart
To thee thine own we give:
Hear thou our cry, and pitying see,
O let these children live to thee,
O let these children live.

Thou who art enthroned in glory
Author: Mrs. Lydia Jane Pierson Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Educational Institutions Lyrics: 1 Thou who art enthroned in glory,
Crowned with love and robed in grace,
Lo! we humbly bow before Thee,
Offering up our songs of praise.
Mighty God and gracious Saviour!
Spirit of enduring grace,
Come in Thine especial favor,
With Thy glory fill this place.
2 We would celebrate the changes
Which the passing years have made,
Since our fathers—poor and strangers—
Sought the Western forest’s shade.
From Helvetia’s vine-clad mountains
Came a little friendless band;
By the rich Rhine’s infant fountains,
Others left their fatherland.
3 Here the little vine, increasing,
Spread its branches green and fair;
Now by Thine especial blessing
See how wide Thy vineyards are.
Come and take the ripened cluster;
All the vintage, Lord, is Thine;
But let mercy temper justice,
Where Thou meet’st a fruitless vine.
4 Let our institutions flourish,
Sending forth a pious band,
With the words of life to nourish
All who hunger through the land.
Zion spreads her hands before Thee;
Come, and in her temples reign,
While we give all praise and glory
To the Triune God, Amen. Used With Tune: GUIDANCE
Thou who art enthroned in glory
How Wondrous Great
Author: Isaac Watts; Caryl Micklem Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Christian Concern Science and Education First Line: How wondrous great, how glorious bright Lyrics: 1 How wondrous great, how glorious bright
must our Creator be,
Who dwells amidst the dazzling light
of vast eternity.
2 Our soaring spirits upwards rise
towards the burning throne.
Fain would we see the blessed Three
and the Almighty One.
3 Our reason stretches all its wings,
and climbs above the skies;
But still how far beneath Thy feet
our groundling knowledge lies!
4 While all the heavenly powers conspire
eternal praise to sing;
let faith in humble notes adore
the great mysterious King. Used With Tune: SHORNEY

O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Education Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill,
And trod the path of youth,
Our Saviour and our Brother still,
Now lead us into truth.
2 The call is Thine: be Thou the Way,
And give us men, to guide;
Let wisdom broaden with the day,
Let human faith abide.
3 Who learn of Thee the truth shall find,
Who follow, gain the goal;
With reverence crown the earnest mind,
And speak within the soul.
4 Awake the purpose high which strives,
And, falling, stands again;
Confirm the will of eager lives
To quit themselves like men:
5 Thy life the bond of fellowship,
Thy love the law that rules,
Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip,
The Master of our schools.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS
O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill
Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punished and Saints saved
Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Education religious; Religious Education; Education religious; Religious Education First Line: Great God, how oft did Israel prove Lyrics: 1 Great God, how oft did Israel prove
By turns thine anger, and thy love?
There is a glass our hearts may see
How fickle and how false they be.
2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot
The dreadful wonders God had wrought?
Then they provoke him to his face,
Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace.
3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain,
And made their travels long and vain;
A tedious march through unknown ways
Wore out their strength, and spent their days.
4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain,
They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again;
Call'd him the rock of their abode,
Their high Redeemer, and their God.
5 Their prayers and vows before him rise
As flattering words or solemn lies,
While their rebellious tempers prove
False to his covenant and his love.
6 Yet could his sovereign grace forgive
The men who not deserv'd to live;
His anger oft away he turn'd,
Or else with gentle flame it burn'd.
7 He saw their flesh was weak and frail,
He saw temptations still prevail;
The God of Abraham lov'd them still,
And led them to his holy hill. Scripture: Psalm 78
Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punished and Saints saved

from sin and death we flee;
all those who search for God, you find
and by your grace set free.
2 You are the truth; your word alone
true wisdom can impart;
you only can inform the mind
and purify the heart.
3 You are the life; the rending tomb
proclaims your conqu'ring arm;
and those who put their trust in you
not death nor hell shall harm.
4 You are the way, the truth, the life;
grant us that way to know,
that truth to keep, that life to win,
whose joys eternal flow.

We are gathered all to hear you;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear you;
By your teachings sweet and holy,
Drawn from earth to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till your Spirit breaks our night
With the beams of truth unclouded;
You alone to God canst win us,
You must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart!
Light of light, from God proceeding,
Open now our ears and heart,
Help us by your Spirit's pleading;
Hear the cry that we are raising;
Hear, and bless our prayers and praising.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 11:28 Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU
Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
