190. Tender Saviour, by whose childhood

1 Tender Saviour, by whose childhood
Ev'ry boy and girl is blest,
Help us love and trust and serve thee,
Fold us to thy gentle breast.
Tender Saviour, loving Saviour,
Fold us to thy gentle breast.

2 Hold us by thy hand, dear Saviour,
Lead us in thy holy ways;
Growing in thy grace and wisdom,
Fill our hearts with joyful praise.
Tender Saviour, loving Saviour,
Fill our hearts with joyful praise.

3 Walking in thy gentle footsteps,
Help us, Lord, to follow thee;
Make us pure and true and loving,
Make us more and more like thee.
Tender Saviour, loving Saviour,
Make us more and more like thee.

4 Make our youth time bright with sunshine,
Keep us by thy favor blest,
And when earthly life is over
Fold us to thy gentle breast.
Tender Saviour, loving Saviour,
Fold us to thy gentle breast.
