Our Children Thou Dost Claim

Our child­ren Thou dost claim

And mark them out for Thine:

Ten thou­sand bless­ings to Thy name

For good­ness so di­vine.

Thee let the fa­thers know

And Thee the sons ad­ore

Joined to the Lord in so­lemn vow

To be for­got no more.

How great Thy mer­cies

Lord!

How plen­teous is Thy grace

Which in Thy love and pro­mised word

Includes our ris­ing race.

Our off­spring

still Thy care

Shall own their fa­thers’ God

To lat­est times Thy bless­ings share

And sound Thy praise abroad.
