1. Thou giver of my life and joy | |||
Let songs to thee my tongue employ. | |||
While immature this feeble frame, | |||
Teach me to lisp thy sacred name. | |||
2. May my fond genius, as I rise, | |||
Seek the fair fount where knowledge lies. | |||
On wings sublime trace heaven's abode, | |||
And learn my duty to my God. | |||
3. From low pursuits exalt my mind – | |||
From every vice of every kind. | |||
Nor let my conduct ever tend | |||
To wound the feelings of a friend.}} | |||

4. Though golden flowers my path should grace, | |||
And joys salute me as I pass, | |||
Yet may my generous bosom know, | |||
And learn to feel another's woe. | |||
5. If providence should lend me wealth, | |||
And joys increased by peace and health, | |||
Yet may I ne'er despise the poor, | |||
Nor send them begging from my door. | |||
' | 6. If poverty, with stern command, | ||
Should grasp me in her iron hand, | |||
In my distress, may I receive | |||
That kind relief I'd wish to give.}} | |||

Employ my infancy and youth, | |||
Live in my life through every stage, | |||

{{ | And silvered over by favored head, | ||
May my calm mind reflect intent | |||
On length of days in virtue spent. | |||
9. When death his curtain shall o'er-spread, | |||
And wrap me if his awful shade, | |||
May my blest soul to thee arise, | |||
And triumph in her native skies.}} | |||
