LyicsHAIL, gracious heav'nly Prince!
To thee let children fly:
And on thy kindest providence
O may we all rely.
Jesus will take the young
Beneath his special care;
And he will keep their youthful days
From ev'ry woe and snare.
He knows their tender frame,
Nor will their youth contemn;
For he a little child became,
To love and pity them.
Nor does he now forget
His youthful days on earth:
Nor would we ever cease our praise
For the Redeemer's birth.
