Show "AS ONE OF THESE." "He that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe In Me, it were better for him that a mill-stone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." St. Matthew xvii. 6. Oh, the eyes of a child, the eyes of a child, See far see fair Lest they be clouded for fault of thine. Take heed beware! Oh, the ears of a child, the ears of a child. Hear fine hear far Hush! Lest they answer for word of thine Before God's bar! Oh, the heart of a child, the heart of a child, Is so rare a thing; Tender the touch which should tune each fine Sensitive string! Oh, the soul of a child, the soul of a child. Is white as the flame. And pure as the Pentecost fire that once From Paradise came. And if God this gracious gift has given To you or me Better today than trust betrayed The stone the sea. Kate M. Cleary in "Extension." |
