1 Children, listen to the call,
Little children, one and all,
Jesus calls thee, come away,
Seek the straight, the narrow way.

Chorus:
Come away, come away,
Jesus calls thee, come away!
Come away, come away,
Seek the straight, the narrow way.

2 Children, Jesus died for me;
Jesus, child, hath died for thee,
'Tis our sins the Lord hath slain,
Shall his death be all in vain? [Chorus]

3 Seek Him--they that seek shall find,
Seek Him with an earnest mind,
Jesus Christ, the undefiled,
Waits to bless the humble child. [Chorus]

4 Seek Him ere it be too late,
Haste thee to the open gate,
Earthly honors all are dross,
Seek the shelter of the cross. [Chorus]
