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 succor give,
and shield this child by morn and eve. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
