English text
Children stand in life’s rough way,
Father, guide them;
And we know not what of harm
May betide them;
‘Neath the shadow of thy wing,
Father, hide them;
Waking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,
Go beside them.
When in prayer we cry to Thee,
Thou wilt hear them;
From the stains of sin and shame
Thou wilt clear them;
Mid the quick sands and the rocks
Thou will steer them;
In temptation, trial and grief
Be Thou near them.
Unto Thee we give them up;
Lord, receive them;
In the world we know must be
Much to grieve them;
Many striving oft and strong
To deceive them:
Trustful, in thy hands of love
We must leave them.
