A child, a gift from God above,
A child, to care for and to love,
His days on earth have just begun,
Like morning dew and rising sun.
*
Oh Lord, I give this child to Thee,
His steps and life to oversee,
To guide and watch, and to him show,
The many blessings You bestow.
*
Grant him Your wisdom from above,
Show him Your mercy and great love,
But most of all I ask of Thee,
Show him the Cross of Calvary.
*
Open his heart while he’s still small,
To hear the beckon of Your call,
And when his earthly race is run,
To hear You say, “My child, well done”.
*
The Bible tells us of two births,
One from above, one of this earth,
When all his days on earth are told,
I pray Your face he will behold.
