Children of Zion

Author: Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth Hymnal: Junior Songs #191 (1892) First Line: Oh, many, many children Refrain First Line: Oh, children, come to Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Oh, many, many children In Zion shall be found; We hear their happy voices, And pleasant is the sound; For children can be Christians, And while at work, or play, Be gentle like the Master, And all his words obey. Chorus: Oh, children, come to Jesus! His service is a joy; Oh, come within the city, Yes, ev'ry girl and boy. 2 Oh, who will be the children Within the city bright? Will you be one to enter, And come by morning light? Oh, do not wait till older The shadows may appear You may not see to enter When night is almost here. [Chorus] 3 Then come and bring a playmate, Perchance a brother dear; Let sisters come together, Oh, never, never fear: For Zion must have children Upon her golden street, Then come, and bring in with you Whoever you may meet [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, many, many children]
