To Thee, O God, we of­fer
Our joy­ful songs of praise;
To Thee, the boun­te­ous Giv­er,
And Guard­ian of our days;
Again we meet to thank Thee,
To raise our ev­en­ing pray­er;
Our hearts are filled with glad­ness,
For Thy most ten­der care.

Guard Thou the young, we pray Thee,
From sin and er­ror’s ways;
Show them the path of du­ty,
And guide through fu­ture days;
May youth and age so serve Thee,
Thou God of watch­ful love;
That they, when life is end­ed,
May dwell with Thee above.
