347. Jesus, When He Left the Sky

7.7.7.5.
1
Jesus, when He left the sky,
 
And for sinners came to die,
 
In His mercy passed not by
 
Little ones like me.
2
Mothers then the Savior sought,
 
In the places where He taught,
 
And to Him their children brought — 
 
Little ones like me.
3
Did the Savior say them nay?
 
No; He kindly bade them stay — 
 
Suffered none to turn away
 
Little ones like me.
4
’Twas for them His life He gave,
 
To redeem them from the grave:
 
Jesus able is to save
 
Little ones like me.
