Lord, look upon this[each] helpless child
Before he knows[she knows, they know] you’re there;
Surround him[her, them]
with protective love,
Enfold him[her, them] in your care.
Your church on earth, O Lord, affirms
By clear baptismal sign
What you from heaven made manifest
By merciful design.
By merciful design and love
Through Saviour Jesus’ birth,
You succour every one that’s born
To serve you here on earth.
These joyful parents strengthen, Lord,
And help them to provide
A Christian home, where faithfulness
And patient love abide.
Thus may all children brought to you
Be nurtured in your way,
And so in goodness and in truth
Your Spirit’s fruit display.
