Author: Johan Olof Wallin, (1773-1839); Gershom Mott Williams Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #232 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 First Line: "O let the children come to Me" Lyrics: 1 "O let the children come to Me,"
Dear Saviour, Thou commandest:
And for these innocents we see
How Thou in welcome standest.
Still goes Thy Spirit freely forth,
To gladden souls that need Thee,
And Thou bestowest heavenly birth;
If they like children heed Thee:
To them belongs the kingdom.
2 By water and the Spirit Thou
Our sinful nature cleansest;
Thy Word doth show the path to go,
And daily grace Thou sendest.
O may Thy sanctifying love
Surround us all with blessing;
And may we all Thy favor prove
In daily Thee confessing,
And close to Thee abiding.
3 O soul of man, remember well
The holy Name Thou bearest:
Of everything that tongue can tell
That Name is still the dearest.
O child of God, His voice attend,
Live worthy of His choosing;
For He is thy eternal Friend:
Beware lest thou be losing
His grace so freely given.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Baptism; Sunday after New Year; Trinity, Sixth Sunday; Name of Jesus and Christ Scripture: Matthew 19:14 Languages: English Tune Title: O FADER VÅR, BARMHERTIG, GOD
