Representative Text

1 To Thee, O blessed Savior,
Our grateful song we raise;
Oh tune our hearts and voices
Thy holy name to praise.
'Tis by thy sovereign mercy
We're now allowed to meet,

Chorus:
And join with friends and teachers,
Thy blessing to entreat.

2 O may thy precious gospel,
Be published all abroad;
Till the benighted heathen
Shall know and serve the Lord,
Till o'er the wide creation,
The rays of truth shall shine,

Chorus:
And nations now in darkness,
Arise to light divine.
