Our Children, Lord in Faith and Prayer

Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
we now devote to thee;
let them thy cov'nant mercies share
and thy salvation see.

Such helpless babes thou didst embrace
while dwelling here below;
to us and ours, O God of grace,
the same compassion show.

In early days their hearts secure
from worldly snares, we pray;
O let them to the end endure
in ev'ry righteous way.
