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 Mine 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.”
“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation: but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).
