“Let little children come to Me,”
So says our blessed Lord;
And I, a little child, would be
Obedient to His word:
In early days would sing His praise,
And hasten to Him—for He says,
“Let little children come to Me.”
“Let little children come to Me.”
It is my Saviour’s call:
He spoke it not to two or three,
But to the children all.
And so when they His Word obey,
It is as if they heard Him say,
“Let little children come to Me.”
“Let little children come to Me,”
O Saviour, Lord, I come;
Through’ life and death I’ll go with Thee,
Thine arms shall be my home.
I cannot fear when Thou art near,
And Thy sweet words I seem to hear,
“Let little children come to Me.”
