The Sunday School Hymnal ‎#280

280. Jesus, once an infant small

1 Jesus, once an infant small,
Cradles in the oxen's stall,
Though the Lord and God of all;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

2 Once a child so good and fair,
Feeling want, and toil, and care,
All that we may have to bear;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

3 Jesus, Thou dost love us still,
And it is Thy holy will
That we should be safe from ill;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

4 Be Thou with us every day,
In our work and in our play,
When we learn and when we pray;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

5 When we lie asleep at night,
Ever may Thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning light;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

6 Make us brave, without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that Thou art always near;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!
