Hymnal: Christian Hymns #295 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Christian children must be holy,
Serving God from day to day;
Never is the time too early
For a Christian to obey.
2 Jesus taught us in His childhood;
Only eight short days He saw,
Ere He suffered circumcision,
And obeyed His Father's law.
3 He who is our great example,
Let no moment run to loss;
Not one precious hour He wasted,
From the cradle to the cross.
4 Soon He sorrowed, soon He suffered:
We must meek and gentle be;
Little pain and little trial
Ever bearing patiently.
5 Soon He showed a son's obedience:
We must early learn to do,
Not our own will, but our Father's,
And be found obedient too. Topics: Christ Example of; Faith Ground of; Following Christ; Holiness Languages: English Tune Title: BERGGREEN
