A much-loved Boy of Bible times, and called "a little one." (Genesis 44)
A lad on whom a "blessing" came, his father's youngest son. (Genesis 48)
A Child whose early days were spent in "knowing" God's blest Word
And who in latter years became a "servant of the Lord." (1 Timothy 3)
A son of God's anointed priest, a "son of Belial," too. (1 Samuel 1)
The Eldest Brother of a boy, who once a "champion" slew. (1 Samuel 17)
A King whose mother taught him how to plead the needy's cause,
And to avoid the drunkard's cup, a judge by righteous laws. (Proverbs 31)
Initial letters of these words will form a town,
The place where once a pilgrim came, and weary laid him down;
Who dreamed a dream of heavenly bliss while calmly sleeping there
And rose refreshed to know and own Jehovah's tender care.
