Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian children must be holy,
Serving God from day to day;
Never is the time too early
For a Christian to obey.
2 Jesus taught us in His childhood;
Only eight short days He saw
Ere He suffered circumcision
And obeyed His Father's law.
3 He who is our great Example,
Let no moment run to loss;
Not one precious hour He wasted
From the cradle to the Cross.
4 Soon He sorrowed, soon He suffered;
We must meek and gentle be,
Little pain and childish trial
Ever bearing patiently
5 Soon He showed a Son's obedience;
We must early learn to do
Not our own will, but our Father's,
And be found obedient too.
Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Childhood Used With Tune: SPRINGHILL
