1 O let Thy spirit with us tarry, Lord Jesus, this we ask of Thee. These little ones to Thee we carry: Baptize them that Thine own they be. 2 We name them after Thee, tho' humble: O let them in Thy name arise; Nor let them fall if they should stumble, But run their course and gain the prize. 3 If long the course, O Lord, uphold them, Thine aged servants bear in mind; If short, O may Thy love enfold them, That in Thine arms they rest may find. 4 Deep in their hearts Thy name be planted, Their names be writ in Thy right hand, To them in weal and woe be granted Thy Spirit, all to understand. 5 The angels sing when babes are sleeping; May still they sing when death draws near. Both cross and crown are in Thy keeping; Lead Thou us on, we have no fear. | Hymnal for Church and Home #152 (1927) Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #152 (1928) American Lutheran Hymnal #43 (1930) |
