325. Suffer Little Children

P.M.
1
Suffer little children,
 
So kindly Jesus said,
 
And gently then He placed His hands
 
Upon each little head;
 
Full of tenderness and grace,
 
Love was beaming in His face.
2
Come, then, little children,
 
And listen to His love,
 
For He is still the same today,
 
Though now He dwells above;
 
Though your hearts are full of sin,
 
Jesus’ blood can make you clean.
3
Happy are the children
 
Who trust in Jesus’ name;
 
Although they cannot see His face,
 
He watches over them.
 
Safely on their Shepherd’s breast
 
All His little lambs may rest.
