Thou God of Jabez, hear,
While we entreat thy grace,
And borrow that expressive pray'r,
With which he sought thy face.
�O that the Lord indeed
Would me his servant bless,
From ev�ry evil shield my head,
And crown my paths with peace!
�Be his almighty hand
My helper and my guide,
Till, with his saints in Canaan�s land,
My portion be divide.�
Thus pious Jabez pray�d,
While God inclin�d his ear;
And all by whom this suit is made,
Shall find the blessing near.
Ye youths your vows combine,
With loud united voice;
So shall your heads with honor shine,
And all your hearts rejoice.
