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 every 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 should we ever cease our praise
For the Redeemer's birth.
