1 Thankful hearts today we bring,
Dear, loving Saviour;
Help us now thy praise to sing,
Dear, loving Saviour.
Chorus:
Keep thy children now, we pray,
Ever in the shining way,
Lead us gently ev'ry day,
Dear, loving Saviour.
2 In thy tender, watchful care,
Dear, loving Saviour;
Fold and keep us safely there,
Dear, loving Saviour. [Chorus]
3 Never let a naughty word,
Dear, loving Saviour;
From our youthful lips be heard,
Dear, loving Saviour. [Chorus]
4 Train us up to live with thee,
Dear, loving Saviour;
Where thy glory we shall see,
Dear, loving Saviour. [Chorus]
