216. 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;
For 'twas to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came."

3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
And yield them up to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be.

Amen.
