Ere to the world again we go
1
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 dayLong as our memory with us stay,And as an angel guardian prove,To guide us to our home above!
