THE SIMPLICITY OF CHRIST




Oh see how Jesus trusts himself
Unto our childish love!
As though by his free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove.


His sacred name a common word
On earth he loves to hear;
There is no majesty in him
Which love may not come near.


The light of love is round his feet,
His paths are never dim;
And he comes nigh to us when we
Dare not come nigh to him.


Let us be simple with him, then,
Not backward stiff, nor cold,
As though our Bethlehem could be
What Sinai was of old.
