I think, when I read that sweet story of old

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #499 (1870) Meter: 11.9.12.9 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 arms 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 has 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." 5 I long for the joys of that glorious time, The sweetest, and brightest, and best, When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and be blessed.
