Our great Captain and our Saviour
These children we give to Thee
Pray, make them fit for Thy service
Heirs of life these children are
2.
Thou the beauty of the Father
Make these little ones like Thee
Create them in thy own image
Prepared for thy courts above
3.
Make them valiant warriors for Thee
Soldiers brave and strong we pray
Strong to vanquish hosts of Satan
And to overcome the world
4.
Let Thy words like coals of fire
In the mouth of Thy children
Burn sin totally to ashes
That our bodies be made whole
5.
Keep them all for Thy glorious work
And that spotless they may be
Teach them all how to bear the cross
Each day they live here on earth
6.
Bless’d be the plan of salvation
For the good of these Thy youth
Deliver them, lead them, watch them
And at last, do save their souls
Amen
