Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXLIX (1789) Topics: Baptism Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Father of all! thy care we bless,
Which crowns our families with peace:
From thee they spring, and by thy hand
They have been, and are still, sustain'd.
2 To God, most worthy to be prais'd,
Be our domestick altars raise';
Who, Lord of heav'n, scorns not to dwell
With saints in their obscurest cell.
3 To thee may each united house
With joy present its grateful vows;
Our servants, there, and rising race,
Be taught thy precepts and thy grace.
4 O may each future age proclaim
The honours of thy glorious name!
While, pleas'd and thankful, we remove
To join the family above.
