                 A

             HYMN

To be Sung at the Anniverſary-Meeting

                 OF THE

      Charity Schools,

On Thurſday in Whitſon-Week, 1711.
               To a Pſalm Tune.

WH E N to the Temple we repair,
A numerous joyful Throng,
Our Praiſe ſhall fill the Houſe of Pray'er :
The Lord's our Strength and Song.
Should We be wanting to rejoice,
Thro' Deadneſs or Delays,
The Stones themſelves wou'd find a Voice
To celebrate his Praiſe.

He found us in the Deſert wide,
And did us thence remove :
Still may he us vouchſafe to guide,
And lead with Bands of Love !
He is our Comforter and Light,
His Manna does us feed :
His Cloud by Day, his Fire by Night,
To Heav'nly Canaan lead.

Chorus. To tboſe calm happy Seats may He
In Safety us convey,
And all whoſe Love and Piety
Have plac'd us in the Way.
To the Bleſs'd Coeternal Three,
Whom Earth and Heav'n adore,
As was, and is, all Glory be,
Till Time ſhall be no more.

London, Printed by Joſeph Downing in Bartholomew.Cloſe, 1711.
