Hymns of the Lutheran Church

46 Your Little Ones, Dear Lord, Are We

1 Your little ones, dear Lord, are we And come your lowly bed to see; Enlighten ev'ry soul and mind That we the way to you may find. 2 With songs we hasten you to greet And humbly fall before your feet. Oh, blessed hour, oh, sweetest night That gave you birth, our souls' delight. 3 Oh, draw us wholly to you, Lord, And to us all your grace accord; True faith and love to us impart That we may hold you in our heart. 4 Until at last we, too, proclaim, With all your saints, your glorious name; In paradise our songs renew And praise you as the angels do.
