Christ on earth was kind to children
When the little ones were brought
By their mothers for His blessing,
And He gave them what they sought:
For He laid His hands upon them,
And in loving tones and mild,
Said, Let children come unto Me;
Hinder not one little child.
Christ in heaven loveth children,
And His blessed voice is heard,
Telling how He’ll save and bless them,
If they will but trust His Word.
O, He is a gracious Saviour—
Loving, tender, kind, and true:
Little children, won’t you trust Him
Who has done so much for you?
Christ is coming for the children
Who have trusted in His Word;
Soon He’ll have them safe and happy
In the presence of their Lord.
There to see Him in His glory,
There to feast upon His love,
There to praise the children’s Saviour
In the happy home above.
