It fell upon a summer day,
When Jesus walked in Galilee,
The mothers from a village brought
Their children to His knee.
He took them in His arms, and laid
His hands on each remembered head;
"Suffer these little ones to come
To Me," He gently said.
"Forbid them not. Unless ye bear
The childlike heart your hearts within,
Unto My kingdom ye may come,
But may not enter in."
O Father, grant this childlike heart,
That I may come to Christ, and feel
His hands on me in blessing laid,
Love-giving, strong to heal.
