12496. Oh, Suffer The Children To Come

1 "Oh, suffer the children to come," said Jesus,
"Suffer them to come unto Me,
For such as these is the heav’nly kingdom,
Then let them come unto Me."

Refrain:
Children, children, do you love Jesus?
Do you love Him with all your heart?
Children, children, do you love Jesus?
Then from all of His teachings ne’er depart.

2 Yes, Jesus died for the little children,
And that means you and me;
For us He made a home in Heaven,
Where we’ll dwell eternally. [Refrain]

3 Say, did you ever work for Jesus?
Then work for Him today;
For Jesus Christ our blessèd Master,
Says ever work, watch and pray. [Refrain]
