One of These Little Ones

Dear lit­tle pil­grim

press­ing on

To Ca­naan’s hap­py land—

O

can you hear your Sav­ior’s voice

And fol­low His com­mand?

Yes

I will go where Je­sus went

Not fear­ing Jor­dan’s wave;

The Well Be­loved the Fa­ther sent

I know is strong to save.

My Sav­ior calls me to His side—

Lord

I will fol­low Thee!

I know Thine an­gels still abide

With lit­tle ones like me.

With joy I’ll go where He shall lead

My guide He’ll sure­ly be

Who gave me life and friends and home

And gave Him­self to me.

I walk the path His foot­steps trod

I gaze on hill and vale

His pre­sence blessed

I view the sea

Where Je­sus calmed the gale.

I shall be safe

kept by His pow­er

Who rules the ang­ry wave;

Though sor­rows press and dan­gers low­er

He ev­er lives to save!

And now

by faith

in Jor­dan’s flood

Obeying His com­mand

Saved by the wa­ter and the blood

His child

re­deemed

I stand!

He car­eth for His lit­tle ones

He bids them

Come to Me.

Of such as these

shall

in that day

My heav’n­ly king­dom be!
