As when a child, secure of harms

Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #708 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 As when a child, secure of harms, Hangs at the mother’s breast, Safe folded in her anxious arms, Receiving food and rest: 2 And, while through many a painful path The travelling parent speeds, The fearless babe, with passive faith, Lies still, and yet proceeds: 3 Should some short start his quiet break, He fondly strives to fling His little arms about her neck, And seems to closer cling; 4 Poor child, maternal love alone Preserves thee, first and last; Thy parent’s arms, and not thy own, Are those that hold thee fast! 5 So souls that would to Jesus cleave, And hear his secret call, Must every fair pretension leave, And let the Lord be all. 6 “Keep close to me, thou helpless sheep,” The Shepherd softly cries; “Lord, tell me what ’tis close to keep,” The listening sheep replies. 7 “Thy whole dependence on me fix; Nor entertain a thought Thy worthless schemes with mine to mix, But venture to be nought. 8 “Fond self-direction is a shelf; Thy strength, thy wisdom flee; When thou art nothing in thyself, Thou then art close to me.” Scripture: Psalm 73:28 Languages: English
