HYMN 86.

O God Thy grace and blessing give
To us, who on Thy Name attend;
That we this mortal life may live
Regardful of our journey's end.

Teach us to know that Jesus died,
And rose again, our souls to save;
Teach us to take Him as our Guide,
Our Help from childhood to the grave.

Then shall not death with terror come,
But welcome as a bidden guest;
The herald of a better home,
The messenger of peace and rest.

And when the awful signs appear
Of judgment, and the throne above,
Our hearts still fix'd we shall not fear;
God is our trust, and God is love.
