When Je­sus was asked by His ser­vants one day
Who great­est in Hea­ven would be,
He beck­oned a lit­tle one to Him and said,
Such on­ly shall en­ter with Me.

Refrain

O Mas­ter, re­deem us from hard­ness and pride,
And make us a child in Thy sight;
With meek­ness and trust may our bo­som be filled,
And love guide our act­ions aright.

Tho’ hon­or and rich­es may bright­en our way,
And friends ga­ther round with their cheer,
Except we are will­ing the poor­est to serve,
No wel­come to Hea­ven we’ll hear.

Refrain

God bless­es the child­ren be­cause they are pure,
And all may be such by His grace;
Thro’ cross­es and cares we may rise to His throne,
And shine in the light of His face.
