THANK YOU GOD, for my jewels rare,
The children you have left in my care.
Help me to guide them on their way,
Let me show them my love each day.

Grant me my wish to see them grown,
Even though pain and trouble be known.
A Mother's pride in her jewels, bright,
Please God, may they turn out all right!
If, perhaps, they should go astray,
Let them know I will love them anyway.
