Children, do you know the Treasure
There is hid for you in Jesus?
Have your little hearts a pleasure
In a love that never ceases?
Jesus is the mighty Savior
Who came down from heaven above,
By His own divine behavior
He declared that God is love.
No joys did Jesus find down here,
His Father's thoughts His one delight;
And all this earth was dark and drear
To Him who knew that home so bright.
His little ones He now invites
To have their joys where He had His,
To give up all their earthly rights
Because in Christ their treasure is.
And soon His blessed face they'll see,
One look His endless love will tell:
“Come, little children, come to Me,
In My blest presence you shall dwell.”
Oh, happy thought to be so near,
By Him so loved, so welcome there;
How small the loss of all things here
Love's great inheritance to share!
