	LORD, for our children we would plead,     Dear objects of our care; Dangers on every side are spread,     Save them from every snare.
2	We ask for them not wealth or fame,     Amid the worldly strife; But in our Saviour’s saving name     We ask eternal life.
3	On us hast Thou bestowed Thy grace,     Be to our children kind; Among the saved give them a place,     And leave not one behind.
	Thomas Hastings, 1784-1872, Rowland Hill, 1744-1833
