Author: William M. Hutchings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7571 Meter: Irregular First Line: When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus Lyrics: 1. When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to depart: But Jesus saw them ere they fled and sweetly smiled and kindly said, Suffer little children to come unto Me.; 2. For I will receive them and fold them to My bosom: I’ll be a shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away; For if their hearts to Me they give, they shall with Me in glory live: Suffer little children to come unto Me. 3. How kind was our Savior to bid these children welcome! But there are many thousands who have never heard His name; The Bible they have never read, they know not that the Savior said, Suffer little children to come unto Me. 4. O soon may the heathen of every tribe and nation Fulfill Thy blessèd Word and cast their idols all away! O shine upon them from above and show Thyself a God of love, Teach the little children to come unto Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: SALEM (Methfessel)

1827 - 1876 Person Name: W. M.

Mr. Hutchings was engaged for some time as a printer and publisher in London. His well-known hymn, "When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus" (Children brought to Christ), was written for the anniversary service of St. Paul's Chapel Sunday School, Wigan, in 1850, and was published in a revised form in the Juvenile Missionary Magazine of June 1850. A full account of the original and the revised texts is given in a note in W. F. Stevenson's Hymns for Church and Home, 1873. Another hymn by Mr. Hutchings, "We have heard the wondrous story" (The Life of Jesus), appeared in the Sunday School Union Voice of Praise, 1886. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
