A Hymn for Charity Children: Another

When to the temple we repair,
A numerous joyful throng,
Our praise shall fill the house of prayer;
The Lord's our strength and song.

Should we be wanting to rejoice,
Through deadness or delays,
The stones themselves would find a voice
To celebrate His praise,

He found us in the desert wide,
And did from thence remove:
Still may He us vouchsafe to guide,
And lead with bands of love.

He is our Comforter and Light,
We on His manna feed;
His cloud by day, His fire by night
To heavenly Canaan lead.

To those calm happy seats may He
In safety us convey,
With all whose love and piety
Have placed us in the way.

To the blest co-eternal Three
Whom earth and heaven adore,
As was, and is, all glory be,
Till time shall be no more.
