Jesus! we lift our souls to thee

Author: Beck Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Infant Redeemer Lyrics: Jesus! we lift our souls to thee; Thy Holy Spirit breathe; And let this little infant be Baptized into thy death. 2 Oh, let thine unction on it rest, Thy grace its soul renew; And write within its tender breast Thy name and nature too. 3 If thou shouldst quickly end its days, Its place with thee prepare; And if thou lengthen out its race, Continue still thy care. 4 Lord! plant us all into thy grace, That we thy life may prove; Partakers of thy cross beneath, And of thy crown above.

Ye christian parents dry your tears

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Death and Burials For the Burial of an Infant Lyrics: 1 Ye christian parents dry your tears, O why should they be shed! This may solace your cares and fears, Jesus will raise the dead. 2 Your infants laid into the earth, Which grieves you to the heart; A short time they survive their birth, Until they must depart. 3 Your tender branches torn away, To wither in their bloom; But look ye forward to the day, When Christ the Lord shall come. 4 Then shall your children be restor'd; And never die again: But live and dwell with Christ the Lord, And freed from death and pain. 5 Then shall their bodies be renew'd And like the Saviour's shine; Consisting not of flesh and blood, But heav'nly and divine. 6 How happy will your meeting be Before the Saviour's face, Where your dear children you shall see, In heav'n, that happy place.
