Religion
Mark 10: A SOUL by sacred infancy
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
A Soul by sacred infancy
From anger and desire set free.
From pride and avarice.
From guile, ambition, and self-will
Helpless, and innocent of ill,
In Jesus' arms he lies.
The God of love Himself imparts
To men of simple, humble hearts
Who hang on Him alone;
He claims these little ones for His,
The new-born heirs of heavenly bliss.
And seats them on His throne.
