Mark 5:41; Matthew 19:14
This Jesus loves the little child.
His kingdom is of them.
He holds them soft and touches mild.
Their hearts He all would win.
One little girl was dead and gone
upon her precious bed.
He took her hand and life was drawn
with joy in hope was led.
Some parents brought their little ones
to Jesus for His touch.
His students thought the raucous sums
were for Him just too much.
He sternly spoke, “Permit them come.
“These little ones I love.
“If you would know my kingdom’s plumb,
the child’s a cut above.”
The child is safe in Jesus’ heart.
He will not harm a reed.
with smoking flax He will not part
for small is every seed.
