Carols of Hope ‎#65

65. I Think, When I Read

1. 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.

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 pray'r I may go,
And ask for a share of his love;
And, if I now earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above.
