To Thee, O God, We Offer

To Thee

O God

we of­fer

Our joy­ful songs of praise;

To Thee

the boun­te­ous Giv­er

And Guard­ian of our days;

Again we meet to thank Thee

To raise our ev­en­ing pray­er;

Our hearts are filled with glad­ness

For Thy most ten­der care.

Guard Thou the young

we pray Thee

From sin and er­ror’s ways;

Show them the path of du­ty

And guide through fu­ture days;

May youth and age so serve Thee

Thou God of watch­ful love;

That they

when life is end­ed

May dwell with Thee ab­ove.
