Sing to the Lord the Children's Hymn

Author: Robert S. Hawker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6077 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord the children’s hymn, His gentle love declare, Who bends amid the seraphim To hear the children’s prayer. 2. He at a mother’s breast was fed, Though God’s own Son was He; He learnt the first small words He said At a meek mother’s knee. 3. He held us to His mighty breast, The children of the earth; He lifted up His hands and blessed The babes of human birth. 4. Lo! from the stars His face will turn On us with glances mild; The angels of His presence yearn To bless the little child. 5. Keep us, O Jesus Lord, for Thee, That so by Thy dear grace We, children of the font, may see Our heavenly Father’s face. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HUGH (English)

Robert Stephen Hawker

1803 - 1873 Person Name: Robert Stephen Hawker, 1804 - 75 Author of "Sing to the Lord the children's hymn" in Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Hawker, Robert Stephen, M.A., grandson of Dr. Robert Hawker, was born at Plymouth, Dec. 3, 1804, and educated at Pembroke College, Oxford (B.A. 1828, M.A. 1836). On taking Holy Orders in 1829, he became Curate of Wellcombe, Devon, and in 1834 Vicar of Morwenstow, Cornwall. He died at Morwenstow, Aug. 15, 1873, having been received into the Roman Catholic communion the previous evening. He published several poetical works, including Ecclesia, 1840, in which some of his hymns appeared. Hymns by him were also published in Lyra Messianica, 1864. His “Child Jesus, a Cornish Carol," beginning, "Welcome, that star in Judah's sky," appeared in both these works. Very few of his hymns are in common use. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology =============== Hawker, R. S, p. 499, i, The statement on p. 499, respecting the death of R. S. Hawker, is an error through imperfect information. He died at Plymouth on March 25, 1875, and was buried in the cemetery of that town. His life and works have been set forth in The Vicar of Monvenstow, by S. Baring-Gould, 1876; 3rd ed. 1899; Memorials, &c, by F. G. Low, 1876; and The Life and Letters of R. S. Hawker, by C. E. Byles, 1905. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
