The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#534

534. See Israel's Gentle Shepherd Stand

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 "O let the children 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;
O gentle Saviour, we are Thine,
Thine let our children be.

Amen.
