1 Lord, I would own Thy tender care And all Thy love to me; The food I eat, the clothes I wear, Are all bestowed by Thee. 2 Tis Thou preservest me from death, And dangers every hour; I cannot draw another breath, Unless Thou give me power. 3 Kind angels guard me every night As round my bed they stay; Nor am I absent from Thy sight In darkness or by day. 4 My health and friends and parents dear To me by God are given; I have not any blessing here But what is sent from Heaven. 5. Such goodness, Lord, and constant care A child can ne'er repay; But may it be my daily prayer To love Thee and obey.
