Author: Catherine Winkworth; Heinrich of Laufenberg, 15th century Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #355 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord 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.
O holy Jesus, Lord Divine,
We pray thee guard this child of thine.
2 As in thy heav'nly Kingdom, Lord,
All things obey thy sacred Word,
Do thou thy mighty succour give,
And shield this child by morn and eve.
O holy Jesus, Lord Divine,
We pray thee guard this child of thine.
3 Their watch let angels round him keep
Where'er he be, awake, asleep;
Thy saving grace on him bestow
That he in thee may live and grow.
O holy Jesus, Lord Divine,
We pray thee guard this child of thine.
