HYMNS FOR CHILDREN.
Hymn 465.
d
" He took them up in His arms."
I.
WHEN Jesus left His Father's throne, He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonoured and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
2.
Like Him may we be found below
In wisdom's paths of peace;
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow As years and strength increase.
3.
p Sweet were His words and kind His look,
When mothers round Him pressed: Their infants in His arms He took, And on His bosom blessed.
4.
Safe from the world's alluring charms, Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms May we for ever lie.
5.
When Jesus into Salem rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms, and strowed
Their garments on the ground.
6.
f Hosanna, our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Saviour's praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Amen.
