Hymn Context Compare
Where child­ren ear­ly speak His fame,
A will­ing ec­ho seeks.
Children in years and know­ledge young,
The wick­ed child, who oft­en heard
Ask you if I’m on the way,
For the gifts He sends;
Father of all! be­fore Thy throne,
And wash them in Thy blood.
Growing in wis­dom and grow­ing in sta­ture,
Amidst the flames con­fined!
Ye sons of Ad­am, fly;
Instruct this heart to pray.
O God, my Sav­ior, leave me not;
And help us live the life di­vine.
The Son of God His glo­ry hides
It was that I might learn from Him
‘Twas in a dark un­guard­ed hour,
The path of Thy com­mand.

par­ents

Happy the home where pray­er is heard,
In the Lord, in the Lord.
Attend the coun­sels of my tongue,
And fled from ev­ery se­ri­ous word,
You may tell them I’ll be there,
Happy home and friends.
Look in pa­ter­nal mercy down,
Shall Thy sal­va­tion come,
We, lit­tle child­ren, may be like the Christ Child,
Go head­long down to hell:
Nor should the child­ren try.
And no at­tent­ive ear is nigh
The Lord, with­in His arms of love,
In un­ion sweet all min­gle here;
And He who made the heav’n ab­ides
And, like the Child of Na­za­reth,
Soft in­no­cence and vir­tue fell
Do Thou their steps at­tend;
