Representative Text

1 Dear Lord, once more the note of praise
With grateful hearts to thee we raise:
We bring our work to thee and pray;
Oh! bless what we have done today.

2 Thine all-sufficient grace impart
To ev'ry faithful teacher's heart;
O! draw them closer to thy side,
That faith and love may still abide.

3 Dear Jesus, lead and keep the youth,
And sanctify them through thy truth;
The children draw to seek thy face
And fold them in thy warm embrace.

4 Come, holy Spirit, as we part
With light and life to every heart;
And lead us by thy hand of love
To our eternal home of love.
