Prayer for the Children

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance Save the Children First Line: Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing Lyrics: 1 Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing On the children gathered here, May they all, Thy name confessing, Hold Thy truth forever dear; May they be like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and kind, and pure, And their faith, like Samuel proving, Steadfast in the right endure. 2 Holy Saviour, who in meekness Came to earth a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs when they are weary, Safe upon Thy loving breast, Thro' life's desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to thy heav'nly rest. 3 Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them, Holy Spirit from above; Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Temples of thy glorious Godhead, May they with Thy presence shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light. Look unto me; thy morn shall rise, And all thy days be bright." I look'd to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk, Till all my journey's done.

I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." 2 Yet still is the Saviour in pray'r I may go, And ask for a share in his love, And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above. In that beautiful plan he has gone to prepare For all who are wash'd and forgiv'n, Oh, may we at last find a glad welcome there, Safe at home in the kingdom of heav'n.
