Verse 1:
Creation's sovereign Lord!
Be thy glad name adored
Through earth and sky!
Hear, as in youthful days
To thee we humbly raise
Songs of our grateful praise,
Holy and high!
Verse 2:
Thanks for thy light so free,
Causing our eyes to see
Thy truth and grace;

Mercy, to sinners dear,
Life, dying souls to cheer,
For all our race.
Verse 3:
Thanks, that on hearts like ours
Thy loving kindness showers
Knowledge divine;
O let its influence be
Fruitful in works for thee,
Causing in purity
Our lives to shine.
Verse 4:
Bless this our childhood band,
And let us ever stand
Truthful and strong;
Christians in deed and love,
Such as thou wilt approve,
Till we in worlds above
Thy praise prolong!
