Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #174 (1957) Lyrics: 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. Topics: Dedication of Children Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY
