American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#523

523. See Israel's Gentle Shepherd Stand

1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand,
With all engaging charms;
Hark, how He calls the tender lambs
And folds them in His arms!

2 Permit them to approach, He cries,
Nor scorn their humble name:
It was to bless such souls as these,
The Lord of angels came.

3 We bring them, Lord, with grateful hearts
And yield them up to Thee,
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine;
Thine let our children be!

Amen.
