O God, whose loving hand has led my children to this joyful day, We pray that Thou wilt bless them now, as long in Thee they face Thy sway. Grant them the will to follow Christ, who dwells of peace in Galilee, And through His perfect life of love, fulfillment of their love to see. Give them the power to make a home where peace and knowledge shall abide, Where Christ shall be the gracious head, the trusty friend, the constant guide.
