The Sweet Story of Old

By Jemima Luke

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 him then.
I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, That I might have seen his kind look when he said, “Let the little ones come unto me.”
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 has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering there, “For of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
— Mrs. Jemima Luke.
