O, Lord! our infant voice we raise,
Thy holy name to bless;
In daily song of thanks and praise,
For mercies numberless.
For parents who have taught us right,
That Thou art good and true;
And though unseen by our weak sight
Thou seest all we do.
Let all our thoughts and actions rise
From innocence and truth;
And Thou, O, Lord! wilt not despise
The praise of early youth.
