| 1. God almighty, in Thy temple,
Low before Thy throne we bow.
From Thy dwelling-place in glory,
Hear our supplications now,
While we offer
Earnest prayer and solemn vow.
2. Christ our Saviour, Thou who carest
For the youngest of Thy fold,
Give us now Thy heavenly blessing,
As Thou didst in days of old
Priceless treasure,
Richer far than gems or gold.
3. God the Holy Ghost, be near us,
Ever dwell our hearts within;
Keep them pure, and brave, and earnest,
Give us grace to conquer sin,
And, through Jesus,
Heaven’s eternal crown to win.
4. Holy Trinity, defend us
In a world with evil rife,
Let Thine angel-guards surround us,
In each sore and bitter strife;
O preserve us
Unto everlasting life!
