See Israel’s Gentle Shepherd Stand
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.
