- 1Heav'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.
- 2Holy Savior, who in meekness
- Didst vouch-safe 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;
- Thro' life's desert, dry and dreary,
- Bring them to Thy heav'nly rest.
- 3Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them,
- Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
- 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.
