Verse 1

A year of precious blessings, And glorious victories won, Of earnest work progressing, Its onward course has run; To Thee, O God, our Refuge, Whose goodness crowns our days, Within Thy earthly temple We lift our souls in praise; Within Thy earthly temple We lift our souls in praise.

Verse 2

Thou Master of assemblies, In mighty power descend, Behold our glad reunion, Conduct it to the end; Inspire our hearts with courage, And deeper love for Thee, That all Thy name may honor, Where'er our field may be; That all Thy name may honor, Where'er our field may be.

Verse 3

O church of God's Anointed, March on the lost to win, Lead forth Thy ranks victorious Against the hosts of sin; 'Till at His throne in glory, Where angels prostrate fall, One hallelujah chorus Shall crown Him Lord of all; One hallelujah chorus Shall crown Him Lord of all.
