Representative Text

1 Come to the mercy-seat,
Come to the place of prayer;
Come, little children, to His feet,
In whom ye live and are.

2 Come to our God in prayer,
Come to your Saviour now,
While youthful skies are bright and fair,
And health is on your brow.

3 Come in the name of Him
Who all your sorrows bore,--
Who ever lives to pardon sin,
And will be sought by prayer.
