1 See Israel’s gentle Shepherd stand,
With all engaging charms;
Hark! how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in His arms.
2 "Permit them to approach," He cries,
"Nor scorn their humble name:
It was to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came."
3 We bring them, Lord, with grateful hearts,
And yield them up to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be!
