Better than Thrones

Hymnal: Calvary Songs #110 (1875) First Line: There's nothing sweeter than the thought Refrain First Line: I'd rather be the least of them Lyrics: 1 There's nothing sweeter than the thought, That I may see the Lord, If I but seek him as I ought, And love his work and word. Refrain: I'd rather be the least of them That are the Lord's alone, Than wear a royal diadem, And sit upon a throne. 2 Once in his arms the Saviour took Young children just like me, And blessed them with a voice and look, As kind as kind could be. [Refrain] I'd rather be the least of them That shared that look and tone, Than wear a royal diadem, And sit upon a throne. [Refrain] 3 And though to heaven the Lord hath gone, And seems so far away, He hath a smile for every one That doth his voice obey. [Refrain] I'd rather be the least of them That he will bless and own, Than wear a royal diadem, And sit upon a throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's nothing sweeter than the thought]
