In all its pur­ity and pow­er.
For the pow­er to think aright,
A heart­ful, heav­en­ly Fa­ther,
It saves us from a thou­sand snares
Fools in their heart be­lieve and say
You come their souls to seek and save.
To wage an ev­er­last­ing war,
Be Thy strong arm our ev­er sure de­fense;
’Twill save us from a thou­sand snares
The songs of li­ber­ty.
In the paths we have trod,
This land they seek—theirs to sub­due;
Many ills may be our fate;
And search from Bri­tain to Ja­pan,
Too weak, alas, her strong­est aid!
Great God, and dwell be­fore Thy face?
We, like them, the yoke must wear.

Grace will pre­serve our fol­low­ing years,
There is no God that reigns on high,
Is all be­ne­vo­lence and love,
And glo­ry in Thy slight­ed cross.
Thy boun­te­ous good­ness nour­ish us in peace.
Grace will pre­serve our fol­low­ing years,
Upon our Sab­baths smile;
And the ways of her God,
They plant the Church, the state, the school,
It is found at mer­cy’s gate.
So just to God, so safe for man.
Her com­forts were not made to die.
And hum­bly walks with God be­low.
Shall their hea­then tongues ex­claim,
