THE CHRISTIAN LIFE |
See, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands,
With all-engaging charms; Hark, how He calls the tender lambs, And folds them in His arms!
"Permit them to approach," He cries,
"Nor scorn their humble name; For 'twas to bless such souls as these, The Lord of angels came."
We bring them, Lord. in thankful hands,
And yield them up to Thee; Joyful that we ourselves are Thine, Thine let our offspring be.
See, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands, |
Philip Doddridge, 1755 | W. H. Havergal, 1846 |
