Children, Come to Me

Author: Mrs. M. A. Deane Hymnal: Good Will #94 (1882) First Line: Far Judea heard him say Lyrics: 1 Far Judea heard him say, Children, come to me; Echoes in our midst today, Children, come to me. Softly o’er the lapse of yeas, Gently soothing childish fears, Greeting all in joy or tears, Children, come to me. 2 Centuries old have sung the strain, Children, come to me; We take up the glad refrain, Children, come to me. What a shelter in His arms, In His voice what countless charms! With his blessing what can harm? Children, come to me. 3 Speaking to their cherish’d ones As they’re gath’ring home; We shall hear his welcome tones, Little children, come. Now without a veil between; Seeing now as ye have seen, Being what ye ne’er have been, Angle children, come. Scripture: Mark 10:14 Languages: English Tune Title: [Far Judea heard him say]
