A Prayer For Our Children

A Father's Prayer

Jesus, Lord, remember me;

Ease my hour of mortal strife:

Let my children find in Thee

Guidance through this earthly life:

Write, with those dear names I love,

My name in Thy Book above.


by Hallgrim Petursson (1614-1674)
from The Passion-Hymns of Iceland by Charles Venn Pilcher
