Li34< HYMNS,
r ’Twas he first taught our infant tongue
I To form the lisping word.
4 When in our blood we lay.
He would not let us die,
Because his love had fix’d a day
To bring salvation nigh.
! 5 In childhood and in youth.
His eye was on us still;
Tho’ strangers to his love and truth.
And prone to ev’ry ill.
16 And since his name we knew.
How gracious has he been !
| What dangers has he led us through !
What mercies have we seen!
7 Now through another year.
Supported by his care.
We raise our Ebenezer here,
“ The Lord has help’d thus far.”
8 Our lot in future years.
Unable to foresee,
; He kindly, to prevent our fears.
Says, “ Leave it all to me.”
1 9 Yea, Lord, we wish to cast
Our cares upon thy breast!
j Help »s to praise thee for the past.
And trust thee for the rest.

< 1 TTINDRED in Christ, for his name’s sake,
A hearty welcome here receive,
! I May we together now partake,
[! The joys which only he can give !
2 To you and us by grace ’tis giv’n
1 To know the Saviour’s precious name.
