Religion

In School

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)

Religion

Still let us keep the end in mind
For which we hither came;
In search of useful knowledge join'd.
As followers of the Lamb.

Through Him let us to God look up
In every step we take;
And for His constant blessing hope,
For Jesu's only sake.

His grace if God on us confer,
We then shall learn apace,
Live to His glory, and declare
Our heavenly Teacher's praise.

We in His favour shall retrieve
Our long-lost paradise.
Take of the tree of life, and live
Immortal in the skies.
