Lord, anoint my head
Anoint my hands and my heart
Guide this day ahead.
Lord, help me to love
Each child that will come my way
Gentle as a dove.
Lord, grant each child peace
A willing heart for learning
Knowledge to increase
Lord, bless each child’s home
Fill with love is my prayer
A sweet honeycomb.
And Lord, as we part
After a long day of work
Bond us by the heart.
