 Hymn A & M 447- Christ, who once amongst us as a child did dwell

1. Christ, who once amongst us

as a child did dwell,

is the children's Savior,

and he loves us well;

if we keep our promise

made him at the font,

he will be our Shepherd,

and we shall not want.

2. There it was they laid us

in those tender arms,

where the lambs are carried

safe from all alarms;

if we trust his promise,

he will let us rest

in his arms for ever,

leaning on his breast.

3. Though we may not see him

for a little while,

we shall know he holds us,

often feel his smile;

death will be to slumber

in that sweet embrace,

and we shall awaken

to behold his face.

4. He will be our Shepherd

after as before,

by still heavenly waters

lead us evermore;

make us lie in pastures

beautiful and green,

where none thirst or hunger,

and no tears are seen.

5. Jesus, our Good Shepherd,

laying down thy life,

lest thy sheep should perish

in the cruel strife,

help us to remember

all thy love and care,

trust in thee, and love thee

always, everywhere.
