I Think When I Read That Sweet Story of Old
Author: Jemima T. Luke Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 853 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 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 prayer I may go,
and ask for a share in his love;
and if I now earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above;
4 In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare
for all who are washed and forgiv'n;
and many dear children are gathering there,
for of such is the kingdom of heav'n.

And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Quenching thirst in ev'ry land.

the life divine to show to man,
proclaims from heav'n the message free:
"Let little children come to me."

of sprinkled water name them thine:
their souls with saving grace endow;
baptize them with thy Spirit now.

them safely in thy way to guard;
thy blessing on their lives command,
and write their names upon thy hand.

dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
may these, with all the heav'nly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Hymn 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 First Line: How large the promise, how divine Lyrics:
How large the promise, how divine,
To Abram and his seed!
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The Angel of the cov'nant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers giv'n;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.
