Holy Father, Send Thy Blessing

1 Holy Father, send Thy blessing
On Thy children gathered here;
Let them all, Thy love confessing,
Be to Thee forever dear.
Holy Saviour, Who in meekness
Didst vouchsafe a child to be;
Guide their steps and help their weakness,
Bless, and make them like to Thee.

2 Bear the lambs, when they are weary,
In Thine arms and at Thy breast;
Through life's desert dark and dreary
Bring them to Thy heavenly rest.
Spread Thy wings of blessing o’er them,
Holy Spirit, from above;
Guide, and lead, and go before them,
Give them peace, and joy, and love.

AMEN.
