Refrain: "Let the little ones come unto Me, Let the little ones come unto Me;" And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. Refrain: I shall see Him and hear Him above, I shall see Him and hear Him above; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare, For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering there, For "Of such is the kingdom of heaven."
