EN 3960 Friend of the Home

Luke.18.16

Versi Version 1

1

Friend of the home: as when in Galilee

The mothers brought their little ones to Thee,

So we, dear Lord, would now the children bring,

And seek for them the shelter of Thy wing.

2

Thine are they, by Thy love’s eternal claim,

Thine we baptize them in the threefold Name;

Yet not the sign we trust, Lord, but the grace

That in Thy fold prepared the lambs a place.

3

Lord, may Thy Church, as with a mother’s care,

For Thee the lambs within her bosom bear;

And grant, as morning grows to noon, that they

Still in her love and holy service stay.

4

Draw through the child the parents nearer Thee,

Endue their home with growing sanctity;

And gather all, by earthly homes made one,

In Heaven, O Christ, when earthly days are done.
