O God, Great Father, Lord, and King!

 

VERSE 1

O God, great Father, Lord and King!

Our children unto Thee we bring;

And strong in faith, and hope, and love,

We dare Thy steadfast Word to prove.

 

VERSE 2

Thy covenant kindness did of old

Our fathers and their seed enfold;

That ancient promise standeth sure,

And shall while heaven and earth endure.

 

VERSE 3

Look down upon us while we pray,

And visit us in grace today;

These little ones in mercy take

And make them Thine for Jesus’ sake.

 

VERSE 4

While they the outward sign receive,

Wilt Thou Thy Holy Spirit give,

And keep and help them by Thy power

In every hard and trying hour.

 

VERSE 5

Guide Thou their feet in holy ways:

Shine on them through the darkest days;

Uphold them till their life be past,

And bring them all to heaven at last.
