166. My son! know thou the Lord

1My son! know thou the Lord,
Thy father’s God obey,
Seek his protecting care by night,
His guardian hand by day.

2 Call while he may be found,
And seek him while he's near;
Serve him with all thy heart and mind,
And worship him in fear.

3 If Thou wilt seek his face,
His ear will hear thy cry;
Then shalt thou find his mercy sure,
His grace for ever nigh.

Closing Hymn:
1 Once more before we part,
Oh bless the Saviour's name;
Let every tongue and every heart,
Adore and praise the same.

2 Lord in thy grace we came,
That blessing still impart;
We meet in Jesus' sacred name,
In Jesus' name we part.

3 Thus nurtured by thy word,
May each in wisdom grow,
And still go on to know the Lord,
And practice what we know.
