HYMN LXXXV.

[Jesus His own disciples chid]

Jesus His own disciples chid,
Who, out of false esteem,
The parents foolishly forbid
That brought their babes to Him.
453

Methinks e'en now I hear Him say,
In fervent charity,
“I will not have them kept away,
Bring all your babes to Me.”
Though men our simpleness despise,
Our Saviour doth maintain
They must be small in their own eyes,
If they with us would reign.
To little ones, and not to men,
Is grace and glory given,
Children they must become again,
Or never enter heaven.
