Author: Jane Taylor, 1783-1824 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #657 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: 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
I never can repay;
but may it be my daily prayer,
to love thee and obey. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Languages: English Tune Title: ST LEONARD
