Prayer for Our Children

By H. Bonar

FATHER, our children keep! We know not what is coming on the earth; Beneath the shadow of thy heavenly wing, O, keep them, keep them, thou who gav'st them birth!
Father, draw nearer us! Draw firmer round us thy protecting arm; O, clasp our children closer to thy side, Uninjured, in the day of earth's alarm!
O! keep them undefiled! Unspotted from a tempting world of sin; That, clothed in white, through the bright city gates, They may with us in triumph enter in.
— H. Bonar.
