EN 3101 When Mothers of Salem

Matt.19.14

Versi Version 1

When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus,

The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to depart:

But Jesus saw them ere they fled and sweetly smiled and kindly said,

“Suffer little children to come unto Me.”

“For I will receive them and fold them to My bosom:

I’ll be a shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away;

For if their hearts to Me they give, they shall with Me in glory live:

Suffer little children to come unto Me.”

How kind was our Savior to bid these children welcome!

But there are many thousands who have never heard His Name;

The Bible they have never read, they know not that the Savior said,

“Suffer little children to come unto Me.”

O soon may the heathen of every tribe and nation

Fulfill Thy blessed Word and cast their idols all away!

O shine upon them from above and show Thyself a God of love,

Teach the little children to come unto Thee!
