Consolation in Christ for little Children

Where shall a feeble, helpless child, Find courage to it's mind; But in the power and grace of him, who came the lost to find.

As he that hath an hundred sheep, If one of them doth stray, Leaves ninety-nine to go and seek, And bring it on his way.

Your heavn'ly father, Jesus saith, As in his word we're told; Will not have one such little one, To perish from his fold.

O may I know his worthy name, And trust his faithful care; In every gloomy fearful thought, Find help and safety there.

Since God is love, and hath it shewn, In Jesus unto me; May I from slavish dread of him, Be evermore set free.

And ever have upon my mind, A sense I'm not my own; But am most gratefully oblig'd, To live to him alone.
