281. O Holy Lord, content fill to fill

1 O Holy Lord, content to fill
In lowly home the lowliest place;
Thy childhood's law a mother's will,
Obedience meek Thy brightest grace.

2 Lead every child that bears Thy Name
To walk in Thine own guileless way,
To dread the touch of sin and shame,
And humbly, like Thyself, obey.

3 Oh! let not this world's scorching glow
Thy Spirit's quickening dew efface,
Nor blast of sin too rudely blow,
And quench the trembling flame of grace.

4 Gather Thy lambs within Thine arm,
And gently in Thy bosom bear;
Keep them, O Lord, from hurt and harm,
And bid them rest for ever there!

Amen.
