87. Christian Children Must Be Holy

1 Christian children must be holy,
Serving God from day to day;
Never is the time too early
For a Christian to obey.

2 He who is our great Example,
Let no moment run to loss;
Not one precious hour He wasted
From the cradle to the Cross.

3 Soon He sorrow’d, soon He suffer’d;
We must meek and gentle be,
Little pain and childish trial
Ever bearing patiently.

4 Soon He show’d a Son’s obedience;
We must early learn to do
Not our own will, but our Father’s,
And be found obedient, too.
