I Think When I Read That Sweet Story

Author: Jemima Luke Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #140 (1934) First Line: I think when I read that sweet story of old Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men; How He call'd 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 arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 2 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love: And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. In that beautiful place He is 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." 3 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I should like them to know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. I long for the joys of that glorious time, The sweetest, the brightest, the best, When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and be blest!
