Rise high, ye notes, a glad ovation, To God’s bright Throne, with accents clear; The Author blest of man’s creation Now lends our song a Father’s ear; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | O’er each event of life presiding, May God rich gifts on both bestow, With heavenly light your footsteps guiding, As through the world’s dark wild ye go; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | By God’s own Word each action measure, And follow Christ in earnest race; Still fix your hearts on Heavenly Treasure, This pilgrim life fleets on apace. Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | Together bend, God’s grace imploring, Or no true joy your love will know; Your voices blend, His Name adoring, Till Love to God each heart o’erflow; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | With cheerful faith in God confide ye, The pilgrim’s staff with courage take, And, till the silent grave divide ye, God and each other ne’er forsake; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | May peace and love, your lives adorning, Attend you all your course along; Your Christian walk, each night and morning, More steadfast make with prayer and song; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | Together now your voices raising, Vow truth to God, hand joined in hand. Till, on His Glories ever gazing, Ye meet in heaven’s own happy land; Eternal Lord of heaven above, Look down and bless their plighted love. | |
