Jesus calls to you, clear children,
And His words are words of love:
“Come to Me, receive My blessing—
Come to Me, and live above.”
“But,” you say, “He lives in heaven,
How can I approach Him there?”
Listen then to what He utters—
Thus His gracious words declare—
“For My love to ruined sinners
To this wretched world I came,
Here I died to make atonement,
Justice now no more can claim.
“Children now in Me believing
Everlasting life receive
Come in faith to Me for pardon—
I have died that thou may’st live.”
