Christian Children Must Be Holy

Appears in 24 hymnals 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 He who is our great Example, Let no moment run to loss; Not one precious hour He wasted From the cradle to the Cross. 3 Soon He sorrow’d, soon He suffer’d; We must meek and gentle be, Little pain and childish trial Ever bearing patiently. 4 Soon He show’d a Son’s obedience; We must early learn to do Not our own will, but our Father’s, And be found obedient, too. Used With Tune: [Christian children must be holy]
