He smiled as He stretched out His arms in glad welcome,
While little ones hastened to press round His knee,
While He laid His kind hand on each little fairforehead,
Saying, "Suffer the children to come unto Me."
He loved them e en then, though His heart was distressed,
He loveth them still in their innocent glee ;
And still does He utter those words of sweet welcome,
Oh, " Suffer the children to come unto Me."
Send not from My presence the children : I love them,
And they shall be happy, and joyous, and free:
But bring them where blessings from heaven are dropping,
Oh, " Suffer the children to come unto Me."
