Of Such is the Kingdom

He was once a little child, Oh, how gentle, meek and mild! 2 If like Jesus I would be, He will help and comfort me. Mothers brought the children near, All his blessed words to hear. 3 Never were they sent away; Welcome ever, day by day; Sweet the reason that was given, Childlike hearts are close to heaven. 4 In his presence if I dwell, All is peace and all is well. What I need, his love can give; He will show me how to live.

Our King

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: New Words to Old Tunes First Line: The busy, pleasant day Lyrics: 1 The busy, pleasant day Has softly passed away On sunset wing; And twilight shadows throng To hear our even-song, Its thankful strain prolong To Christ, our King. 2 Unlike the kings of earth, He was of lowly birth, And humble name. But all his life was spent On thoughts of love intent; Where'er his footsteps went, A blessing came. 3 The poor, the sick, and old, In hunger, want and cold, He loved them all. No words can e'er express His heavenly tenderness; He still can save and bless The souls that call. 4 And he is with us now; O let our spirits bow His love to meet. Our Brother and our Friend, Whose kingdom has no end, On whom our hearts depend In trust complete.
