SEE ISRAEL'S GENTLE SHEPHERD STAND
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;
For 'twas to bless
such souls as these
The Lord of angels
came.''
3. We bring them,
Lord, in thankful hands,
And yield them up
to Thee;
Joyful that we
ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be.
