1 Praise we Him by whose kind favor
Heavenly truth has reach'd our ears;
May its sweet, reviving savor
Fill our hearts, dispel our fears.
Truth--how sacred is the treasure!
Teach us, Lord, its worth to know;
Vain the hope, and short the pleasure
Which from other sources flow.
2 Lord, the truth we have been hearing
Now to every heart apply;
In the day of thine appearing,
May we share thy people's joy.
Till thou take us hence for ever,
Saviour, guide us with thine eye;
May it be our sole endeavor
Thine to live, and thine to die.
