666. C. M. Stennett.

Infants, living or dying, in the Arms of Christ.

1Thy life I read, my dearest Lord,

With transport all-divine;

Thine image trace in every word,

Thy love in every line.

2With joy, I see a thousand charms

Spread o'er thy lovely face;

While infants in thy tender arms

Receive the smiling grace.
