23. Let Them Come to Me

1 Hear the gentle Shepherd,
Calling lambs like me,
In his sweetest accents,
Let them come to me.

Refrain:
Let them come to me.
Let them come to me,
Hear him sweetly saying,
Let them come to me.

2 He will bid us enter,
When our tired feet
Reach the golden city,
He'll be there to greet. [Refrain]

3 Thanks, dear blessed Savior,
For thy words of love,
Bidding children enter,
Thy bright courts above. [Refrain]
