 s.s These lives in mercy spare.
 To learn and 1oue thy law,
 Saviour! our hearts incline,
 And OCT the paths of future life
 Command thy light to shine. ...f
 While taught thy word of truth,
 May we that word receive; %
 And when we hear thy sacred name,
 May we that name believe!
 Oh! never may we tread
 The broad, destructive road,
 But trace those holy paths which lead
 To thee, and to our God.
