O, children, have you heard
How Jesus Christ, the Lord,
A man became?
He left His home on high,
Above the starry sky,
To suffer and to die
A death of shame
Soon He will come again
And take His people home,
To heaven above;
In brightest glory there,
Eternal joys to share,
Beyond the reach of care,
Where all is love.
Come, children, trust in Him;
He’ll pardon all your sin,
And you shall be,
Washed in the precious flood
Of His atoning blood,
Made fit to worship God,
Eternally.
