Great God! Our Voice to Thee We Raise

Great God! our voice to Thee we raise

Tune Thou our lips and hearts with praise

Thy good­ness to ad­ore:

Our life

our health

and ev­ery friend

From Thee arise—on Thee de­pend

Kind Fa­ther of the poor.

Stretch o’er our heads Thy guard­ian wings

Secure the weak

O King of kings!

Our shield and re­fuge be:

Thy Spir­it

Lord

con­duct our youth

Thro’ Christ

the life

the way

the truth

That we may come to Thee!

While friends their ge­ner­ous aid af­ford

Accept the kind in­tent­ion

Lord

And crown it with Thy love;

Then joy shall tune our hum­ble songs

Till we shall join im­mor­tal tongues

In nob­ler praise above.

Lord

let this work of love

Be crowned with full suc­cess!

Let thou­sands

yet un­born

Thy sac­red name here bless!

To Thee

O Lord

all praise to Thee

We’ll raise through­out eter­ni­ty.
