1

Lord, grant thy blessing here to-day;
O give thy people joy and peace!
The tokens of thy love display,
And favor that shall never cease.

2

We seek the truth which Jesus brought;
His path of light we long to tread;
May here his holy word be taught,
And here its purest influence shed.

3

May faith and hope and love abound,
Our sins and errors be forgiven;
And we, from day to day, be found
Children of God and heirs of heaven.
