[A soul by sacred infancy]
A soul by sacred infancy
From anger and desire set free,
From pride and avarice,
From guile, ambition, and self-will
Helpless, and innocent of ill,
In Jesus' arms he lies.
From anger and desire set free,
From pride and avarice,
From guile, ambition, and self-will
Helpless, and innocent of ill,
In Jesus' arms he lies.
The God of love Himself imparts
To men of simple, humble hearts
Who hang on Him alone;
He claims these little ones for His,
The new-born heirs of heavenly bliss,
And seats them on His throne.
To men of simple, humble hearts
Who hang on Him alone;
He claims these little ones for His,
The new-born heirs of heavenly bliss,
And seats them on His throne.
