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 Used With Tune: INVERNESS
