115. Birthday Song

1 For our pleasant birthdays,
While we gladly sing,
For our years so happy,
Lord, our gifts we bring;
For thy love, dear Saviour,
For thy tender care,
Thankful hearts we give thee,
Hear our birthday pray'r.

2 Many little children
Now are sick or sad,
These will we remember,
Help to make them glad;
May we truly love thee,
Thy dear children be;
Take our lives, Lord Jesus,
All our days for thee.
