1 DAVID S Son and David s Lord! From age to age thou art the same ; Thy gracious presence now afford, And teach our youth to know thy name.

2 Thy people, Lord, though oft distress d. Upheld by thee, thus far are come ; And now we long to see thy rest, And wait thy word to call us home.

3 Like David, when this life shall end, We trust in thee sure peace to find ; Like him, to thee we now commend The children we must leave behind.

4 Ere long, we hope to be where care And sin and sorrow never come ; But oh ! accept our humble prayer, That these may praise thee in our room

5 Show them how vile they are by sin, And wash them in thy cleansing blood ; Oh, make them willing to be thine, And be to them a cov nant God.

6 Long may thy light and truth remain To bless this place when we are gone, And numbers here be born again, To dwell for ever near thy throne,

1 LET us adore the grace that seeks To draw our hearts above ! Attend, tis God the Saviour speaks, And every word is love.
