1Ere to the world again we go,
Its pleasures, cares, and idle show,
Thy grace once more, O God, we crave,
From folly and from sin to save.
2May the great truths we here have heard--
The lessons of thy holy word--
Dwell in our inmost bosoms deep,
And all our souls from error keep.
3Oh! may the influence of this day,
Long as our memory with us stay,
