ST.LUKE, XVIII. 16.
“Let little children come to me,”
Our Lord and Saviour said,
As on a humble, harmless brow
His gentle hand was laid.
Our Lord and Saviour said,
As on a humble, harmless brow
His gentle hand was laid.
The teachable and simple heart
Fears not to be beguiled;
Who enters heaven must love and trust,
E'en as a little child.
Fears not to be beguiled;
Who enters heaven must love and trust,
E'en as a little child.
The mightiest king, the wisest sage,
Who knows his God aright,
Himself a helpless infant feels
In the Almighty's sight.
Who knows his God aright,
Himself a helpless infant feels
In the Almighty's sight.
A nursling at his lesson set,
Who hopes at last to know,
Is the most learn'd of Adam's race,
In this our home below.
Who hopes at last to know,
Is the most learn'd of Adam's race,
In this our home below.
An urchin with his borrow'd rod,
Who smites with guided hand,
Earth's greatest conqueror hath been
The lord of many a land.
Who smites with guided hand,
Earth's greatest conqueror hath been
The lord of many a land.
“Let little children come to me!”
A cheering welcome given
To all with guileless, humble hearts,
Who seek the way to heaven.
A cheering welcome given
To all with guileless, humble hearts,
Who seek the way to heaven.
