Hymn Context Compare
Allow the young children to come unto Me;
Do not quench the Spirit,
Escaped Thy silent tongue.
All to leave and follow Thee;
All to leave and follow Thee;
Like one from whom men hide their faces,
And to exalt the Lamb.
Regular hours, spent talking with Him.
Escaped Thy silent tongue.
And exchange it some day for a crown.
A creature became.
Oh, I’m a vessel of mercy!
For me He drank the bitter cup of woe.
Later called the Nazarene from Galilee.
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
The broken, contrite heart,
Oh saints, don’t just sit idly by;
Are a broken spirit;
Even more ground to You, Lord, we’d allow.

despise

Don’t forbid them, of such is the kingdom of God.
But prove all things,
Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Smitten of God and afflicted.
To Him be glory giv’n;
God’s being added to you, when you say:
Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
Afflicted with sorrow,
Of His kindness.
For me was scourged, condemned and crucified;
Preaching everywhere God’s kingdom not to miss,
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
My many wicked sins
Let’s eat and drink of this sweet Christ!
A broken and a contrite heart;
All that draws away our eyes—
