Hymn 240: Thy Sons and Daughters, Lord,

Verse 1

Thy Sons and Daughters, Lord,

behold,

More precious than the finest gold,

O guide them with Thine eye!

Thy Holy Spirit richly pour,

And fill their hearts this gracious [hour,

That they may prophesy.


Verse 2

May signs and wonders still be [brought

wrought,

And numbers by their preaching 

To know the truth divine:

May all the pow’rs of hell give

way”

And thousands, taught to sing and [pray,

In holy worshiping  join.


Verse 3

Endure them, Lord, with power and 

grace,

To preach Thy word in every place,

To sinners born to die:

Enlarge their power of doing good,

That millions, sprinkled with Thy 

blood,

May meet Thee in the sky,


Verse 4

Bring them at last to see Thy face,

And triumph in redeeming grace,

With all Thy saints in light;

And seated round thy throne divine,

With angels and archangels join

To worship in Thy sight.

Anon.
