Jesus called a little child
“Unto Him” in accents mild;
O! what love and tender grace
Then was shining in His face!
Children He will now receive—
Little ones who Him believe—
Take them in His arms of love,
Carry them till home above.
In those arms His power they know;
“Never perish”—is it so?
Jesus says it—He is Lord—
We believe it—‘tis His word.
Come, O, come to Him to-day!
Turn not from such love away;
He will cleanse you from your stain, Take you home with Him to reign.
