From thy secure enclosure's bound,
And, lured by worldly joys away,
Among the thoughtless crowd be found;--
2 Remember still that they are thine,
That thy dear sacred name they bear;
Think that the seal of love divine,
The sign of covenant grace they wear.
3 In all their erring, sinful years,
Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be;
Remember all the prayers and tears
Which made them consecrate to thee.
4 And when these lips no more can pray,
These eyes can weep for them no more,
Turn thou their feet from folly's way;
The wanderers to thy fold restore. Topics: Baptism; Children; Church Ordinances of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Matthew 19:14 Used With Tune: HEBRON
