1 Starting forth on life’s rough way, Father, guide them; Oh! 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. 2 When in prayer they cry to Thee, Thou wilt hear them; From the stains of sin and shame Thou wilt clear them; ’Mid the quicksands and the rock, Thou wilt steer them; In temptation, trial, grief, Be Thou near them. 3 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. | The Cyber Hymnal #13822 |
