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;
Walking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,
Go beside them.
When in prayer they cry to Thee,
Do Thou hear them;
From the stain of sin and shame
Do Thou clear them;
‘Mid the quicksands and the rocks
Do Thou steer them;
In temptation, trial, 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. —William Cullen Bryant
