Old sunday school song I learnt growing up in India

I'm still looking for the song which begins like this- There's a word of tender beauty, In the sayings of our Lord."
And looking for the song I learnt in Sunday School in India. It begins like this- When mothers of Salem, their children brought to Jesus, the stund disciples drove them back away, them depart."

Hi,

I think that this is the song you're looking for.

When mothers of Salem

When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus,
the stern disciples drove them back and bade them depart:
but Jesus saw them ere they fled and sweetly smiled and kindly said,
"Suffer little children to come unto me."

"For I will receive them and fold them to my bosom:
I'll be a shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away;
for if their hearts to me they give, they shall with me in glory live:
suffer little children to come unto me."

How kind was our Savior to bid these children welcome!
But there are many thousands who have never heard his Name;
the Bible they have never read, they know not that the Savior said,
"Suffer little children to come unto me."

O soon may the heathen of every tribe and nation
fulfill thy blessèd Word and cast their idols all away!
O shine upon them from above and show thyself a God of love,
teach the little children to come unto thee!

Blessings

Will
