1 As lightly and sweetly we tread, The rose-scattered pathway of youth, We'll triumph that o'er us is spread, The banner of mercy and truth; We'll pour forth our praises that he, Who liveth and reigneth above, Forever our guardian will be, That God, our Creator is love. 2 We know that his kindness and care All parts of creation embrace, That we shall especially share The gifts of his infinite grace; To him our thanksgivings ascend, His blessings unlimited prove, That he is our Father and friend, That God, our Preserver, is love. 3 His love he revealed in his Son, Whose mercy no bounds ever knew, We'll praise him for all he has done, And all he has promised to do; In feeling, in deed, and in word, Be governed by grace from above, And always rejoice in the Lord, For God, our Redeemer, is love. | The Little Minstrel: a collection of songs and music, with lessons of instruction, mathematically arranged plan of notation #48 (1867) |
