There is only mention of the king of Salem in the Bible, nothing about the mothers or any other citizens. You are probably thinking of the children's hymn: When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to 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!
