Author: William Robertson Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #347 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A little child, the Savior came,
The mighty God was still His Name;
And angels worshipped as He lay,
The seeming infant of a day.
2 He who a little child began
Saved children, too, by sin defiled,
And still proclaims the message free:
Let little children come to Me.
3 We bring, at Thy beloved behest,
Thy heirs in Holy Baptism blest,
Through Christian nurture, faith, and prayer,
That they may all Thy blessings share.
4 O give Thine angels charge, good Lord!
To keep them Thy way and Word;
Be throughout life Thy blessings given,
And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE
