Children, do you know why Jesus
Came to earth to bleed and die?
Draw your chair up closer to me,
I shall seek to tell you why.
Jesus loves the little children,
Everlasting is His love;
He would have them up in heaven,
in His F’ather’s home above.
So He laid aside His glory,
Came to earth to bleed and die;
Opened wide the door of heaven,
To that happy place on high.
If you early seek the Saviour,
He who is the great “I AM,”
If you trust Him, He’s your Shepherd,
You are Jesus’ little lamb.
Early give your hearts to Jesus,
Walk with Him the Pilgrim Way;
When He comes He’ll take you with Him,
There to dwell through endless day.
