Ere to the world again we go,
To meet its cares and idle show,
Thy grace, once more, O God, we crave,
From folly and from sin to save.

2

May the great truths we here have heard,
The lessons of thy holy word,
Dwell in our inmost bosoms deep,
And all our souls from error keep.

3

O may the influence of this day
Long as our memory with us stay,
And as an angel guardian prove,
To guide us to our home above!

About this hymn

As printed: hymn number «258» (large) with the reference line «212, 58,» in bold italic figures beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 212 or 58; the print ends the line with a comma); left text column of p. 86, below hymn 257, three stanzas and «Anon.» in italics. The first word «ERE» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «!» («above !»); it is closed up here. All four lines of each stanza are set flush.
