God has a family where children are born
Safe from the harvest of sin!
Children raised there can no longer be torn
By sins without and within!
To make men’s children God’s children again
God came to earth as a child.
Making Himself as a mere child of man,
By this world never defiled!
Families around us are breaking apart
Their children stranded, alone.
Oh! may they know that God has in His heart
To make all children His own!
Lord, make our children to be Thy children.
Oh, may they be both ours and Thine!
Content to be in our families, we pray.
A family of man and a family of God!
