445. Bless, O Lord, We Pray

Bless, O Lord, we pray, your congregation;
bless each home and family;
bless the youth, the rising generation;
blessed may your dear children be;
bless your servants, grant them help and favor;
you to glorify be their endeavor.
Lord, on you we humbly call;
let your blessing rest on all.
