411 ~ See, Israel’s Gentle Shepherd
1
See, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands, 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.
