Refrain: Lord, we come, Lord, we come, In our childhood’s early morning; Lord, we come, Lord, we come, Come to learn of Thee. 2 I’ve two little feet to tread the pathway Up to the heav’nly courts above; Two little eyes to read the Bible, Telling of Jesus’ wondrous love. [Refrain] 3 I’ve one little heart to give to Jesus, One little soul for Him to save, One little life for His dear service, One little self that He must have.
