See, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands,

by Philip Doddridge

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 411 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

See, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands, With all-engaging charms; Hark, how He calls the tender lambs, And folds them in His arms!

Verse 2

"Permit them to approach, "He cries, "Nor scorn their humble name; For 'twas to bless such souls as these, The Lord of angels came."

Verse 3

We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands, And yield them up to Thee; Joyful that we ourselves are Thine, Thine let our offspring be.
