Father hear us, we are praying,
Hear the words our hearts are saying,
We are praying for our children.
Keep them from the powers of evil,
From the secret, hidden peril,
From the whirlpool that would suck them,
From the treacherous quicksand pluck them.
From this world’s deep hollow gladness,
From the sting of faithless sadness,
Holy Father, save our children.
Through life’s troubled waters steer them,
Through life’s bitter battle cheer them,
Father, Father please be near them.
Read the language of our longing
Read the wordless pleadings thronging,
Holy Father, for our children do we pray.
And wherever they may be,
Always keep the close to Thee.
