FOR A SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Almighty God! before thy throne, With thankful hearts we bow;Be pleased to bless this little band, And smile upon us now.
Thy goodness formed us from the dust, Thy hand upholds us stillOh, may we ever in thee trust, And love thy holy will.
And as from week to week we meet Within this house of prayer,To ask thy blessing for us all, Thy great, protecting care.
May every little bosom swell With pure and fervent love,And grateful incense from each heart, Rise to thy throne above.
