21b. Shepherd of tender youth

1 Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth
Through devious ways;
Christ our triumphant King,
We come Thy name to sing
And here our children bring
To shout Thy praise.

2 Lo now and till we die
Sound we Thy praises high,
And joyful sing,
Infants and the glad throng
Who to Thy church belong
Unite to swell the song
To Christ our King.
