| Text: | Let Them Come to Me |
| Author: | Mrs. L. M. Beal Bateman |
| Tune: | [From far across the rolling sea] |
| Composer: | J. H. Rosecrans |
1 From far across the rolling sea
Sweet words of kindness come to me,
“Of such shall heaven’s kingdom be,
Let little children come.”
Chorus:
“Let them come to me,
Trusting, lovingly.
Except ye come as little ones,
Ye cannot come to me.”
2 We seem to hear His tender voice
bid ev’ry longing heart rejoice
Who early make the Lord their choice
Oh, let the children come! [Chorus]
3 Oh, turn not youthful hearts away,
In foolish paths of sin to stray,
Let little children learn to pray
And unto Jesus come. [Chorus]
