Jesus calls to little 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:
“Though in glory I am seated,
E’en the softest word I hear;
And the voice of little children
Soundeth sweetly in My ear.
“For My love to ruined sinners
To this wretched world I came;
Here I died to make atonement,
Justice now no more can claim.
“Sinners now in Me believing
Everlasting life receive;
Come, in faith, to Me for pardon—
I have died that thou may’st live.”
