Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #509 (1888) First Line: See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stands,
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. Topics: Baptism; Children; Church Ordinances of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Matthew 19:14 Languages: English Tune Title: AZMON
