Dear Father, wilt thou bless

Representative Text

1 Dear Father, wilt Thou bless
And lead in righteousness
Our Bible School.
Grant that each soul say be
Striving continually,
To praise and honor Thee;
God bless our school.

2 'Tis here we love to meet,
About our Savior's feet
At Bible School.
Now hear us while we pray,
On this and every day.
Take all our sins away;
God bless our school.
