Vinton Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Children listen to the call Refrain First Line: Come and join us in our journey Lyrics: 1 Children listen to the call, Of a Savior's friendly voice, Now entreating one and all, In His constant love rejoice; Come while youth and beauty glow, While with health your cheeks are fair, Say not hours are moving slow, Time will load thee soon with care. Come and join us in our journey Upward to the better lands, Home to glory we are marching, Come and join our happy band. 2 Jesus loves the weakest child, Longing for relief from sin, And in contrite hearts, how mild Is the peace He speaks within; Yes, there's peace for every one, Peace of heav'n bestowed on earth, When the mighty deed is done, Souls accept the newer birth. Come and join us in our journey Upward to the better lands, Home to glory we are marching, Come and join our happy band. 3 Jesus is the dearest friend, E're a child on earth can find, He who from his throne can send Comfort for the troubled mind; Children listen to His call, 'Tis the Savior's voice we hear, On his mercy trusting all, He can save from every fear. Come and join us in our journey Upward to the better lands, Home to glory we are marching, Come and join our happy band. Scripture: Numbers 10:29 Used With Tune: [Children listen to the call]

Come away, come away

Hymnal: Kind Words #49 (1871) First Line: Children, listen to the call Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: THE CALL

William Bentley

1759 - 1819 Person Name: Wm. W. Bentley Composer of "[Children listen to the call]" in Joyful Songs William Bentley (June 22, 1759, Boston, Massachusetts – December 29, 1819, Salem, Massachusetts) was minister, scholar, columnist, and diarist. His ancestors were early Puritan settlers to New England. He lived with his grandfather, William Paine, a well-to-do landowner, who sent him to North Writing School at the age of six, where he studied Latin and Greek. At the age of fourteen, his grandfather enrolled him in Harvard University. After graduating, he taught at Boston Latin School North Writing School, and then became a Greek and Latin tutor at Harvard University while attending graduate classes in theology. He was one of the first New England minister to profess unitarian beliefs and was a close friend of James Freeman, the first minister in the United States to call himself a Unitarian. In 1783 he was invited to be a candidate for assistant minister at Second Congregational(East) Church in Salem, Massachusetts, where he served until his death. The senior minister was James Diman, a Calvinist, who opposed Bentley's appointment; Diman allowed him to preach but not to administer the sacraments. The congregation, however, preferred Bentley's more liberal views. He prized morality and good works over Calvinist grace and faith. He wrote twice-weekly columns for the Salem newspapers summarizing foreign and domestic news. He owned a very large library, second only to Thomas Jefferson's, and kept a diary all of his life.
