8017. His Little Ones

1 Yes, His little ones He holdeth,
With His own, with His own right hand,
Teaching, teaching them so gently
Just to learn, just to learn to stand.

2 Yes, His little ones He guardeth
With a watchful, a watchful eye,
Warning them when danger cometh,
Standing ever, yes, ever nigh.

3 Yes, His little ones He biddeth
With His tender, His tender voice,
"Fear thou not, for I am with thee,
So be glad, and rejoice, rejoice."
