God heard the acceptable prayer
When Jesus to His Father's care
Did His first family bequeath:
Jehovah's name became their tower,
He magnified His saving power
And made them faithful unto death:
His holiness did theirs secure,
And kept from all pollution pure,
His unity preserved them one,
Till conquerors through His faithful love
They found their place prepared above,
And join'd their Saviour on His throne.
