AD ASTRA: 158 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: EXCEPT LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN YE BELIEVE
Last Line: FAITH THAT SHALL OPEN WIDE THE GATES OF HEAVEN!
Subject(s): DEATH - CHILDREN; GOD; HEAVEN; DEATH - BABIES; PARADISE;

Except like little children ye believe,
Ye shall not see the Kingdom of your God.
Ever the eternal verities deceive
The mightiest minds, the brave that upward plod
The way so many wilder'd feet have trod,
While unto little children hath been given
Faith that shall open wide the gates of Heaven!
