Religion
Mark 10:16: Thy hands upon our children lay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Thy hands upon our children lay,
And bless them in Thy service here,
Into their tender hearts convey
A principle of pious fear:
Thee by a life of holy love
Long may they live to glorify.
Or innocent from earth remove.
And spotless to Thy bosom fly.
