Author: Dr. E. H. Dewart, 1828-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #638 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Thou who hast, in every age,
Thy trusting people safely led,
On us, who in Thy work engage,
Thy Spirit's guiding influence shed.
2 As moon and stars their beams unite,
To gild and gladden every zone,
So blend Thy word and works their light,
To make Thy grace and glory known.
3 On those who sow in youthful minds
The seeds of harvests yet to be,
Bestow the living faith, which binds
The heart in loyal love to Thee.
4 Protect our youth from every foe,
And lead in paths of truth and peace;
As they in age and knowledge grow,
May faith and holiness increase
5 So to Thy Church, in wisdom taught,
May men of nobler life be given;
Until, by holy deed and thought,
This world is lifted nearer heaven. Topics: Students, prayer for; Students, prayer for; Education; Seasons and Occasions; Guide Holy Spirit our; Youth; Prayer For Teachers and Students; Holy Spirit Guide; Teachers, prayer for Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSION
