Thy grace and blessing day by day.

Thy messengers obey Thy word,
Send forth the succor of Thy might;
To shield this child both day and night. [Refrain]

Her safe from harm, awake, asleep;
May she not bear the cross in vain,
But with Thy saints a crown attain. [Refrain] Topics: The Church Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: ANGUS
