I spend my happy days,
To make thy faithful mercies known,
And minister thy grace;

Verse 3
The little flock of feeble sheep
Thou hast by me brought in,
Out of the reach of Satan keep,
Out of the reach of Sin.

I ask thee not to take them hence
But keep them safe from harms,
And still extend for their defence
Thine everlasting arms.

Verse 5
The stumbling block of self and pride
Far from their path remove,
Their souls from every idol hide,
From every creature-love.

Verse 6
Ah! leave them not in error’s maze
Far from thy paths to rove,
Thou GOD of all-redeeming grace,
Of all-renewing love.

Verse 8
O might I all present to Thee
With that triumphant boast
The children these thou gav’st to me,
And not a soul is lost.
