I think, when I read that sweet story of old

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #109a (1870) Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he call'd little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." 3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love; And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above. 4 In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare For all who are wash'd and forgiven: And many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
