God is so good that He will hear, Whenever children humbly pray; He always lends a gracious ear To what the youngest child can say. His own most holy Book declares He loves good little children still; And that He listens to their prayers, Just as a tender father will. He will not scorn an infant tongue That thanks Him for His mercies given; And when by babes His praise is sung, Their cheerful songs ascend to heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WAKE OF THE KING OF SPAIN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LILIES OF WHITE by UNNUR BENEDIKTDOTTIR THE WIFE'S SONG by ERNEST BENSHIMOL PSALM 1.
