Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #350 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 "Permit them to approach," 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;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine,
Thine let our offspring be.
Amen. Topics: Baptism; Christ Shepherd; The Church Baptism Scripture: Mark 10:16 Languages: English Tune Title: SOHO
