329. See Israel's Gentle Shepherd

1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
With all-engaging charms;
Hark! how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in His arms.

2 "Forbid them not to come," He cries,
Nor scorn their humble name;
For 'twas to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came.

3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
And yield them up to Thee;
With joy that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be.

Amen.
