I Think When I Read That Sweet Story

Lyrics

1. 1. I think when I read that sweet story of old,

   When Jesus was here among men,

   How he called little children like lambs to his fold;

   I should like to have been with him then.

2. 2. 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.”
