O Lord, the Holy Innocents (EN 3450)

EN 3450 O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Mark.10.14

Versi Version 1

1

O Lord, the holy innocents

Laid down for Thee their infant life,

And martyrs brave and patient saints

Have stood for Thee in fire and strife.

2

We wear the cross they wore of old

Our lips have learned like vows to make;

We need not die; we cannot fight;

What may we do for Jesus’ sake?

3

O day by day each Christian child

Has much to do, without, within;

A death to die for Jesus’ sake,

A weary war to wage with sin.

4

When deep within our swelling hearts

The thoughts of pride and anger rise,

When bitter words are on our tongues,

And tears of passion in our eyes.

5

Then we may stay the angry blow,

Then we may check the hasty word,

Give gentle answers back again,

And fight a battle for our Lord.

6

With smiles of peace and looks of love,

Light in our dwellings we may make,

Bid kind good humor brighten there,

And still do all for Jesus’ sake.

7

There’s not a child so weak and small

But has his little cross to take,

His little work of love and praise,

That he may do for Jesus’ sake.
