Come, let us live with our children

Come, let us live with our children

Author: Cornelia Shipman
Tune: WYLES
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Come, let us live with our children
Lives that are noble and true,
Letting the love of the Father
Shine forth in all that we do;
Sent in His infinite wisdom,
That we may teach them aright;
Ours for to-day, we must guide them
Unto the heavenly light.

2 Come, let us live with our children,
Tenderly watchful and near
To these young lives now unfolding
Ready with counsel and cheer,
To give them strength for life's battles,
Helping if evil betides;
Building so well, that they shall be
Temples wherein He resides.
