Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51; Henry U. Onderdonk, 1789-1858 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #228 (1982) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Worship Lyrics: 1 Our children Jesus calls
To his most dear embrace.
He holds them in almighty arms,
Enfolds them in his grace.
2 "Let them approach," he says,
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heav'n are such as these;
For such as these I came."
3 With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to you,
And pray, "As you show love to us,
So love our children, too." Topics: Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
