Up to the throne on high, In loyal love and trust, We, children of an hour, Lift voices from the dust. Suffer us not to stray From thee, our God, our Guide, Whatever trials come, Whatever ills betide. Grant us in mercy, Lord, The gifts thou deemest best, Help for the daily task, And for our spirits rest. Strong in the power of faith, From doubt and care set free, We tread the appointed path That brings us home to thee. Bid empty terror cease; Neath thy o'ershadowing might Uphold our hearts in hope, And lead us into light.
