253. See, Israel’s Gentle Shepherd.

See, Israel’s gentle shepherd stands, With all engaging charms; Hark, how He calls the tender lambs, 9And 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 we ourselves are Thine, Thine let our off spring be.
