TO LIFT UP and comfort a sad and troubled heart — to lead a soul with a sin-burdened conscience to the Lord Jesus Christ — is a far greater and nobler work than to conquer a kingdom.
Jesus, when He left the sky,
And for sinners came to die,
In His mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.
Mothers then the Saviour sought,
In the places where He taught,
And to Him their children brought
Little ones like me.
Did the Saviour say them nay?
No; He kindly bade them stay
Suffered none to turn away
Little ones like me.
’Twas for them His life He gave,
To redeem them from the grave;
Jesus able is to save
Little ones like me.
