452. O Jesus Christ, Our Lord Most Dear

1 O Jesus Christ, our Lord most dear,
As Thou wast once an infant here,
So give this child of Thine, we pray,
Thy grace and blessing day by day.

2 As in Thy heavenly Kingdom, Lord,
All things obey Thy sacred word,
Do Thou Thy mighty succor give,
And shield this child by morn and eve.

3 Their watch let angels round him keep
Where'er he be, awake, asleep;
Thy holy cross now let him bear,
That he Thy crown with saints may wear.

Amen.
