The Little Boy Thou Gavest Me – A newborn photography session
“The Little Boy Thou Gavest Me “
Dear Lord, I bring to Thee my son Whose tender years have scarce begun. In this wee frame I know full well A living soul has come to dwell Who needs Thee now at childhood’s gate, Ere he shall grow to man’s estate. I covenant through hours apart To pray for him with fervent heart, To teach Thy Word with winsome voice By day and night until his choice Be but Thy blood for sin’s deep stain, And my small son is born again. Then onward shall I pray the more And teach Thy precepts o’er and o’er, That he may grow, each boyhood hour, By Thine indwelling risen power, Lord, some small boys with none to care Will never hear a mother’s prayer; Prepare my son with love aflame To reach them with Thy saving name. And make him, Lord, a polished tool, A learner in Thy highest school. A mother’s part seems, oh, so frail! But Thy strong arm can never fail. To teach, to pray, to stand are mine; Expectantly I yield to Thee The little boy Thou gavest me.
