Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #417 (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 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 Gather Thy lambs within Thine arm,
And gently in Thy bosom bear;
Keep them, O Lord, from hurt and harm,
And bid them rest forever there.
4 So shall they, waiting here below,
Like Thee, their Lord, a little span,
In wisdom and in stature grow,
And favor with both God and man.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Languages: English Tune Title: ABENDS
