1 Now, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To whom we for our children cry! The good desir'd and wanted most, Out of thy richest grace supply! 2 Error and ignorance remove, The blindness of their heart and mind; Give them the wisdom from above, Spotless, and peaceable, and kind. 3 Answer on them the end of all Our cares and pains, and studies here! On them recover'd from their fall, Stamp'd with the humble character? 4 Unite, what long has been disjoin'd, Knowledge and vital piety; Learning and holiness combin'd, And truth and love let all men see. 5 Father, accept them through thy Son, And ever by thy Spirit guide! Thy wisdom in their lives be shown, Thy name confess'd and glorified. | Hymns, Selected and Original: for public and private worship (1st ed.) #659 (1828) |
