Our children unto thee we bring;
and strong in faith and hope and love,
we dare thy steadfast Word to prove.
2 Thy cov'nant kindness did of old
our fathers and their seed enfold;
that ancient promise standeth sure,
and shall while heav'n and earth endure.
3 Look down upon us while we pray
and visit us in grace today;
these little ones thou didst receive,
thy precious promise we believe.
4 They now the outward sign receive;
wilt thou thy Holy Spirit give,
and keep and help them by thy pow'r
in ev'ry hard and trying hour.
5 Guide thou their feet in holy ways,
shine on them thro' darkest days;
uphold them 'til their life be past
and bring them all to heav'n at last. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
O God, great Father, Lord and King!
