- 1Great God, now condescend
- To bless our rising race;
- Soon may their willing spirits bend,
- The subjects of thy grace.
- 2Oh, what a pure delight
- Their happiness to see;
- Our warmest wishes all unite
- To lead their souls to thee.
- 3Now bless, thou God of love,
- The word of truth divine;
- Send thy good Spirit from above,
- And make these children thine.
