300. If Little Children Knew the Love

C.M.
1
If little children knew the love
 
Which dwells in Jesus’ breast,
 
How would they come to Him by faith,
 
All anxious to be blest!
2
"Come unto Me," He sweetly cries;
 
"Come, little children, come!
 
Come to My open arms and heart,
 
Come to My happy home!"
3
Thus Jesus speaks. Who makes reply,
 
"O Lord, I come to Thee;
 
Thy precious love hath won my heart,
 
Thine henceforth I will be"?
4
Oh, precious choice! If such be thine,
 
Then thou indeed art blest;
 
Peace thy companion here shall be,
 
There, everlasting rest!
