When Jesus was asked
by His servants one day
Who greatest in Heaven would be,
He beckoned a little one
to Him and said,
“Such only shall enter with Me.”
O Master, redeem us
from hardness and pride,
And make us a child in Thy sight;
With meekness and trust
may our bosom be filled,
And love guide our actions aright.
Tho’ honor and riches
may brighten our way,
And friends gather round
with their cheer,
Except we are willing
the poorest to serve,
No welcome to Heaven we’ll hear.
O Master, redeem us
from hardness and pride,
And make us a child in Thy sight;
With meekness and trust
may our bosom be filled,
And love guide our actions aright.
God blesses the children
because they are pure,
And all may be such by His grace;
Thro’ crosses and cares
we may rise to His throne,
And shine in the light of His face.
O Master, redeem us
from hardness and pride,
And make us a child in Thy sight;
With meekness and trust
may our bosom be filled,
And love guide our actions aright.
