Oh bless them Lord for they are thine-
These children pure of heart.
And from thy bounties Lord Divine,
Sweet peace and love impart.
And every little baby bless
And every mother cheer
That come away from cares that press
And to the Lord draw near.
How wonderful to hear the sound
Of that kind mellow voice.
Oh, what a peace in Him is found
For little girls and boys.
The sweetest families on earth
Trust fully in His care.
There is no treasure here on earth
That will to it compare.
So bless them Lord for they are thine
Come in their heart to live
And if I had twice forty nine
I all would gladly give.
H. E. Crane
Oh, Father Bless My Child
