(Sung to the tune of “Jesus! and Shall It Ever Be” – TLH 346)

Lord, You saw me before my birth.
Your Spirit gave my life to me.
I praise You for Your deep concern;
Your skill was wrought most wonderfully.

You formed me in your image, Lord,
Creation of such priceless worth.
No price on earth could e’er afford,
Or be affixed before my birth.

But life is cheapened in our land,
And millions die before their birth.
Ignoring Scriptures clear command,
Our nation grants to life no worth.

Yes, still we see Your glory spurned,
Your patience tested ev’ry day.
Teach us to share the things we’ve learned,
And for ourselves and our land pray.
