Laudes Domini ‎#955

955. Our children

1 Great God, now condescend
To bless our rising race;
Soon may their willing spirits bend,
The subjects of thy grace.

2 Oh, what a pure delight
Their happiness to see;
Our warmest wishes all unite,
To lead their souls to thee.

3 Now bless, thou God of love,
The ordinance divine;
Send thy good Spirit from above,
And make these children thine.
