- Oh may we feel a Saviours love / To him our souls commend / Who left his glorious throne above / To be the Childrens Friend / Lord draw our youthful heart to thee / And when this life shall end / Raise us to live above the sky / With thee the Childrens Friend / / (In cartouche): Christ / Was sent / To save us from our sin / And kindly teach us to repent / We should at once begin / / (At the bottom): Mary Ann Fittons Work 1858 //
