| Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God. (Deut. 31:12) |
| I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of Him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. (Ezra 8:21) |
| Our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. (Num. 32:17) |
Today we come and fall before Thy face;
We’ve heard Thy Word; now help us to obey;
Establish, O Lord, our hearts with Thy grace;
Help us, O Lord, to never lose our way. |
And save our children — Lord, we come to Thee,
Nor can we rest till they are gathered in;
Oh save them lest they wander carelessly;
Preserve and keep them from the power of sin. |
