Charity To Children

orchidee



Tune: Hereford

('O thou who camest from above')

Mark 10 v.13-16

**********

They brought young children to Jesus

That He would touch them, and them bless

But His disciples did rebuke

And gave them disapproving look

 

But when Jesus saw it, He be

Much displeased and He said, Here see

Allow the little children to

come unto me, and to me view

 

And forbid them not, for of such

Is sure the kingdom of god much

Truly, He said, Whoso shall not

Receive them do frustrate [their] own lot

 

For if we not kingdom receive

As the little children believe

We shall not enter therein, He

Blessed the children there then, so be

        Children are the greatest inspiration for a better world - lets hope they grow unsullied by us grown ups.
