God bless our little ones tonight,
Our little ones--and thine.
Protect their slumber by thy might.
Grant them thy peace divine.
Help us no duty to forget
We owe to them or thee,
And leave us nothing to regret
In years that are to be.
God, bless our little ones tonight,
Our little ones--and thine.
Help us to rear them true, and right,
And clean, and strong, and fine.
Lead them in ways more beautiful
Than we have ever seen,
And make them each more dutiful
Than we have ever been.
