Hymn: TLH 630, st. 1,3 :
Ye Parents, Hear What Jesus Taught

Hymnary.org — Organ Audio

1. Ye parents, hear what Jesus taught
When little ones to Him were brought:
“Forbid them not, but heed My plea,
And ever let them come to Me.”

3. For if you love them as you ought,
To Christ your children will be brought.
If thus you place them in His care,
You and your household well shall fare.
