146. I Think When I Read That Sweet Story

E              A         E     F#m      B
I think when I read that sweet story of old,

B7   E         B          E
When Jesus was here among men,

       Abm           Dbm         E            A
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,

  E      F#m7         B             E
I should like to have been with Him then.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with Him then.

[Verse 2]
I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
“Let the little ones come unto Me.”

[Verse 3]
I long for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to His arms and be blest.
