United pray'rs ascend to thee,
Eternal parent of mankind;
Smile on this waiting family—
Thy face they seek, and let them find.
Let the dear pledges of their love,
Like tender plants around them grow;
Thy present grace, and joys above,
Upon their little ones bestow.
Receive, at their believing hand,
The charge which they devote as thine,
Obedient to their Lord's command—
And seal with pow'r the rite divine.
To ev'ry member of their house,
Thy grace impart, thy love extend;
Grant ev'ry good that time allows,
With heav'nly joys that never end.
