Hymnal: The Book of Worship #155 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 See Israel’s gentle shepherd stand,
With all-engaging charms!
Hark! how He calls the tender lambs,
And takes them in His arms!
2 "Permit them to approach, (He cries,)
Nor scorn their humble name;
It was to save such souls as these
The power and love I came."
3 We bring them, Lord, with grateful hearts,
And yield them up to Thee;
Rejoiced that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be!
4 Thus Lydia's house was sanctified,
When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His family to the Lord.
5 Ye little flock, with pleasure hear;
Ye children, seek His face;
And fly with transport to receive
The gospel of His grace.
6 If orphans they are left behind,
Thy care, O God! we trust;
And let thy promise cheer our hearts,
If weeping o'er their dust. Topics: Baptism Infants Languages: English
