7:17AM - Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer

Given my previous two posts, I thought this would be appropriate as today's hymn:

Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
We now devote to Thee;
Let them Thy covenant mercies share,
And Thy salvation see.

Such helpless babes Thou didst embrace,
While dwelling here below;
To us and ours, O God of grace,
The same compassion show.

In early days their hearts secure,
From worldly snares, we pray;
O let them to the end endure
In every righteous way.

– Thom­as Ha­weis, 1808.
