When mothers of Salem
Author: William Medlen Hutchings (1827-1876) Hymnal: The Hymnal #446 (1950) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 When mothers of Salem
Their children brought to Jesus,
The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to depart;
But Jesus saw them ere they fled,
And sweetly smiled and kindly said,
"Suffer little children
To come unto Me.
2 For I will receive them
And fold them to My bosom:
I’ll be a Shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away;
For, if their hearts to Me they give,
They shall with Me in glory live;
Suffer little children
To come unto Me."
3. How kind was our Saviour
To bid these children welcome!
But there are many thousands who have never heard His Name;
The Bible they have never read,
They know not that the Saviour said,
"Suffer little children
To come unto Me."
4. O soon may the people,
Of every tribe and nation,
Fulfill Thy blessed Word and cast their idols all away;
O shine upon them from above,
And show Thyself a God of love;
Teach the little children
To come unto Thee!
Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns Tune Title: ATHLONE
