Representative Text

1 Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
Who has bid us come to thee,
Now extend to us thy favor,
Little children though we be.
Low we humbly bend before thee,
All unworthy of thy love;
Lord of life, and light, and glory,
Hear us from thy throne above.

2 Thou who holdest high dominion
Over air, and earth, and sea.
Yet didst bless the little children
That of old were brought to thee.
Lord, this day we ask thy blessing,
Send thy Holy Spirit down;
May we all, our sins confessing,
Thee, our Lord and Saviour, own!

3 So when death this frame shall sever,
(For we know that all must die,)
May our souls, O Lord, forever
Live and reign with thee on high.
O that we, to whom 'tis given,
Here to join in praise and prayer,
May, around thy throne in heaven,
Meet, and none be wanting there!

Tune

[Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior] (O'Kane)

AUTUMN (Barthélemon)

This tune is adapted from Barthélemon's piece Durandarte and Belerma: A Pathetic Scotch Ballad (1797). Some editors describe AUTUMN as "adapted from Psalm xlii in the Genevan Psalter, 1551", referring to the similarity between this tune and FREU DICH SEHR.
