- H Y M N / SEE Israel,s gentle Shepherd stand / With all engaging charms / Hark how he calls the tender lambs / And folds them in his arms. / Permit them to approach he cries / Nor scorn their humble name / For twas to bless such souls as these / The Lord of Angels came / We bring them Lord in thankful hands / And yield them up to thee / Joyful that we ourselves are thine / Thine let our offspring be / Ye little flock with pleasure hear / Ye children seek his face, / And fly with transport to receive, / The blessings of his grace. / If orphans they are left behind, / Thy guardian care we trust, /That care shall heal our bleeding hearts, / If weeping oer their dust / (At the bottom): Mary Chapman her Work Bradford Wilts 1810 Aged 8 / Years //
