Once More Our Grateful, Strengthened Hearts

lyricist: William Poor, 1897
Composer: George Gow, 1897

Once more our grate­ful

strength­ened hearts

Alight with grace di­vine

Would bring to Thee

our migh­ty king

New to­ken we are Thine.

Thy love has guid­ed all our lives

In paths with mer­cy bright;

And health

and hope

and pray­er­ful aim

Inspire our song to­night.

Unseen the sun yet proves his reign

By mel­low

full orbed moon;

So we to Thee would wit­ness bear

In ra­di­ance all Thine own;

Tho’ dark­ness

doubt and spec­tral fears

Enchain our fel­low men

The light is Thine

and they are Thine

Oh

bring them back again.
