Heavenly Father, Thou hast given
Meter: 8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Thou hast given
Us this child in holy trust,
That we train it up for heaven,
There to dwell among the just.
2 From all sin, O Christ, our Saviour,
Thou hast saved it through Thy blood,
Gained for it the highest favor,
Bought for it the highest good.
3 Nor withheldest Thou Thy favor,
New-Creator of the heart,
Who in the baptismal laver
Didst new life and grace impart.
4 Fain would we have kept this token
Of Thy tender love, kind Lord;
And it is with hearts nigh broken
That we part from our dear ward.
5 Though we loved it, as Thou knowest,
Dearly though we love it still:
Greater love, Lord, Thou bestowest,
And we bless Thy gracious will. Topics: Children Death of; Sickness, Death, and Burial Used With Tune: LONGING FOR HEAVEN
