Thurlow Weed - Children stand on life's rough way - текст песни (слова)

Children stand in life's rough way,
 Father, guide them;
 And we know not what of harm 
 May betide them;
 'Neath the shadow of thy wing,
 Father, hide them;
 Waking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,
 Go beside them.
 
 When in prayer we cry to Thee,
 Thou wilt hear them;
 From the stains of sin and shame
 Thou wilt clear them;
 Mid the quick sands and the rocks
 Thou will steer them;
 In temptation, trial and grief
 Be Thou near them.
 
 Unto Thee we give them up;
 Lord, receive them;
 In the world we know must be
 Much to grieve them;
 Many striving oft and strong
 To deceive them:
 Trustful, in thy hands of love
 We must leave them.
