1 The gentle Savior calls
The children to his breast;
He folds them in His gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
O hear him saying:
Refrain:
"Suffer little children to come unto me,
Suffer little children, Suffer little children,
Suffer little children and forbid them not,
For of such is the Kingdom of Heav'n.
2 "Let them approach," He cries,
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heav'n are such as these,
For such as these I came.
O hear him saying: [Refrain]
