Gracious Lord and Loving
Shepherd
with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead
those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11
Hymn tune by William Fiess,2020
| Written for Sarah Gracious Lord and loving Shepherd We entrust our child to Thee. Bless our little lamb and keep her In your care eternally. You who blessed the little children Gathered wee lambs in your arms, By your pow'r you hold and keep her Far away from Satan's harm. She no longer knows life's sorrows Having left this world of sin, For her loving Shepherd sought her And has safely brought her in. Lips of infants praise and bless Thee; In your kingdom they now sing. For to such as these is given Life eternal in their King. Thou hast given and hast taken. Help us bow before Thy will. Fix our hopes on things eternal That our hearts may bless Thee still. Weep not, for the child is sleeping In her Shepherd's fold, secure. One day she'll be rais'd in glory. In Christ, death's pow'r reigns no more! Amen. |
