1 Sing, ye children, to the Lord
From your heart with one accord;
Praise His care and love for you,
He is always kind and true.

2 Ev'ry day the Lord is near,
Also when the storms appear,
Never we are left alone,
He is watching o'er His own.

3 When the night is dark and drear
Dangers lurking far and near,
Angels from our home on high
Come to be His children nigh.

4 Day of brightness and delight
Dawns for children after night,
When at work and when at play,
Jesus is their Joy and Stay.

5 Ev'ry day His love is new,
And His care is sure and true;
With His eye He guards our steps,
Watching over hearts and lips.

6 Unto Him above the skies
We will lift adoring eyes,
Thank Him for His care and love,
Coming from His throne above.
