VERSE 2 Like to cor-ner stones that stand Vis-i-ble on ev-'ry hand, Well a-dapt-ed to u-nite, As a pal-ace, pol-ished bright,-- May our daught-ers, pure in mind, Fam-i-lies in con-cord bind, While ob-serv-ers, glad, con-fess Great their worth and love-li-ness! VERSE 3 For this end we meet to-day, Strong-ly hope, and warm-ly pray; Anx-ious for the chil-dren's sake, And the fu-ture they will make. Fa-ther of our race!--each child Be to thee now rec-on-ciled; May our sons in vir-tue grow,-- Beau-teous lives our daugh-ters show! VERSE 4 Hap-py is the land, whose youth Learn to prize God's pre-cious truth; Where the schol-ars flock a-round Teach-ers, ev-er faith-ful found: Hap-py land, where par-ents see Chil-dren grow in pi-e-ty; And where both, with sweet ac-cord, Fol-low on to know the Lord! VERSES FOR UNDERSTANDING: Psalms 144:11-12 KJV 11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: Ephesians 6:1 KJV Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Colossians 3:20 KJV Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 KJV And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Proverbs 22:6 KJV Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
