Assembled in our school to-day. Opening of a Sunday School. This hymn has long been regarded, both in Great Britain and America, as anonymous. 2. Children of God, 0 blessed name. Adoption. In several collections, including the Leeds Sunday School Hymn Book, 1833 to 1865; Common Praise, 1879, and others. 3. Children, think on [of] Jesus' love. The love of Jesus.

Lord, look upon a little child. Seeking Jesus. This is the most popular and widely used of Buckworth's hymns. It is worthy of greater attention than it has hitherto received. Nos. 6 and 1 were added to Pt. II. of the Hymns for Sunday School. between 1827 and 1830. As however this edition of the Hymns, &c, was not published by Buckworth, there is some uncertainty as to the authorship of these hymns. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
