¶Lyrics / Text

:::''1.'' Heav’nly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here, May they all, Thy Name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. :::''2.'' Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a Child to be, Guide their steps, and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav’nly rest. :::''3.'' Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.
