A Welcome for the Children

Author: Maud Frazer Hymnal: Life Songs #151 (1916) First Line: Long ago when Christ our Saviour Refrain First Line: There's a welcome for the children Lyrics: 1 Long ago when Christ our Saviour Did upon this earth abide, He did not forget the children, But He called them to His side. Refrain: There's a welcome for the children, In the Saviour's loving heart; There's a welcome for the children, In His love they have a part. 2 This dear Saviour still is living, Tho' His form we cannot see; Still His gentle voice is calling, "Let the children come to me." [Refrain] 3 Come, ye children, come to Jesus; He will hear you when you pray; He will kindly guide your footsteps In the shining upward way. [Refrain] 4 Little ones of ev'ry nation Doth the blessed Lord invite, Rich or poor, it does not matter, All are precious in His sight.
