Author: H. U. Onderdonk Hymnal: Laudes Domini #512 (1888) First Line: The Saviour kindly calls Lyrics: 1 The Saviour kindly calls
Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
2 "Let them approach," he cries,
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came."
3 With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to thee,
Imploring, that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be. Topics: Baptism; Children; Church Ordinances of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Proverbs 8:17 Languages: English Tune Title: INVERNESS
