The Childhood Of Jesus.

Topics: classic

Of the childhood of our Saviour         Tells one simple verse alone;     Yet from that his whole behavior         When he was a child, is known.     He was subject to his mother,         So the holy Scriptures say;     'Tis enough, we need no other         Record of him day by day.     Thus we, his obedience knowing,         Know how gentle and how mild,--     How in truth and goodness growing         Was our Saviour from a child.     Little children, who endeavor         Like the blessed One to be,     As you try, remember ever         How obedient was he.     If, like Jesus pure and holy,         You your parents' will obey,     You will grow more meek and lowly,         And more like him, every day.
