1 Lord, I would own Your tender care
and all Your love I see;
the food I eat, the clothes I wear,
are all Your gift to me.

2 Lord, You preserve my life from death
and dangers every hour;
I cannot draw another breath
unless You give me power.

3 Kind angels guard me every night
as round my bed they stay;
nor am I absent from Your sight
in darkness or by day.

4 My health and friends and parents dear
to me by God are given;
I have not any blessing here
but what is sent from heaven.

5 Such goodness, Lord, and constant care
a child cannot repay;
but may it be my daily prayer
to love You and obey.
