His heart is full of kindness,
Sweet words He has to tell;
Come listen to Him, children,
For He loves children well;
And many to Him gather,
From every clime and land;
Come, welcome, happy children,
And join the happy band.
He on the cross once suffer’d;
Nails pierced His hands and feet;
But all His pain and sorrow
Make us for heaven meet.
His blood our sin-stain cleanses,
And takes our guilt away:
Come, welcome, happy children,
For Jesus says you may.
