Lyrics
I think when I read that sweet story of old
When Jesus was here among men
How He called little children as lambs to His fold
I should like to have been with them then
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”
In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven
And many dear children shall be with Him there
For of such is the kingdom of heaven
