662 SWEET STORY 11 8 11 9 Irregular English 9:4 I. I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here a- mong men, How He called little chil- dren as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. A-MEN. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, 3 And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare And many dear children shall be with Him there, 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, I wish they could know there is room for them all, Jemima Luke, 1841 William B.
