A Prayer for Knowledge and Vital Piety

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #436 (2022) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to whom we for our children cry; the good desired and wanted most out of Thy richest grace supply; the sacred discipline be giv'n, to train and bring them up for heav'n. 2 Answer on them the end of all our cares, and pains, and studies here; on them, recovered from their fall, stamped with the humble character; Raised by the nurture of the Lord, to all their paradise restored. 3 Error and ignorance remove, their blindness both of heart and mind; give them the wisdom from above, spotless, and peaceable, and kind; In knowledge pure their minds renew, and store with thoughts divinely true. 4 Learning’s redundant part and vain be all cut off and cast aside; but let them, Lord, the substance gain, in ev'ry solid truth abide; Swiftly acquire, and ne’er forego, The knowledge fit for them to know. 5 Unite the pair so long disjoined, knowledge and vital piety; learning and holiness combined, and truth and love, let all men see; In those whom up to Thee we give, Thine, wholly Thine, to die and live. 6 Father, accept them through Thy Son, and ever by Thy Spirit guide! Thy wisdom in their lives be shown, Thy name confessed and glorified; Thy pow'r and love diffused abroad, till all the earth is filled with God.
