Bless Us Children Now

Dear Sav­ior

from Thy throne ab­ove

Where count­less child­ren bow

Oh

let Thy lov­ing eye be­hold

And bless us child­ren now.

Our hearts in tune­ful num­bers wake

Our tongues with rap­ture sing

All glo­ry

hon­or

praise to Thee

Redeemer

Lord and King!

Thy mer­cy led us thro’ the year

That sweet­ly passed away

And thro’ Thy grace we ga­ther now

To hail our fest­ive day.

Oh

may we learn in ear­ly youth

Thy ho­ly Word to prize

The lamp that guides our feet to Heav’n

Our home be­yond the skies.

Oh

hap­py thought

if

faith­ful here

We work and watch and pray

We’ll spend with Thee in Heav’n at last

An end­less hap­py day.
