Hymns for Children, 84

The children in their earliest days
To Jesus brought, are truly bless'd:
He folds them in His kind embrace.
He wanns them in His tender breast.

One of those happy children, me,
Saviour, into Thy arms receive;
Brought by my parents' prayers to Thee,
O may I in Thy kingdom live.

They tell me Thou art good indeed.
And wouldst to all Thy grace impart;
Put then Thy hands upon my head.
Put faith into my simple heart.

Thee may I for my portion choose,
To Thee through life obedient prove.
And now obtain, and never lose,
The blessing of my Saviour's love.
