914. The Savior's Invitation

1 Hear the blessed Savior saying,
“Let the children come to Me!”
Joyfully He will receive them,
And their Friend forever be.

Refrain:
“Let them come unto Me,”
Hear the blessed Savior say;
Sweet the call unto all,
May we heed it and obey.

2 Yes, the gracious invitation’s
To the young as well as old;
And the lambs are ever welcome
To the loving Shepherd’s fold. [Refrain]

3 Let us try to be like Jesus,
Love and serve Him every day;
Then we’ll have a home in heaven
When from earth we pass away. Refrain]
