"He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom.” ImfGRACIOUS Saviour, holy Shepherd, 3 mf Let Thy holy word instruct them;

Little ones are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms, and carried

In Thy bosom, may they be Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, cres From all want and danger free.

2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray;

By Thy warning love directed, May they walk the narrow way;

Lest they fall an easy prey.

Fill their minds with heavenly light;
Let Thy love and grace constrain them
To approve whate'er is right,
Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it,
And to prove Thy burden light.

4mf Taught to lisp the holy praises

Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned Glad thank-offerings may they bring;

Thus direct them, thus defend them, cres Then, with all the saints in glory,

f Join to praise their Lord and King. Amen,
