933. Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer

Authors: Haweis, Thomas, Hastings, Thomas

Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer
we bring before your face;
let them your covenant mercies share
and save them by your grace.

2. In early days their hearts secure
from evil ways, we pray;
and let them to life’s end endure
by walking in your way.

3. We do not ask for wealth or fame
for them in this world’s strife;
we ask, in your almighty name:
‘Give them eternal life!’

4. Before them let their parents live
in godly faith and fear;
then, Lord, to heaven their souls receive
and bring their children there.
