Lyrics: 1 Our Saviour bids the children come; He bids us come to him; And, as in other days, he spreads His arms to take us in. Refrain: O Saviour! dear Saviour! O joy of the blest! How I long to be thine, In bright glory to shine, And to be forever at rest. 2 Forever blessed be his name; No earthly love like his; O may it draw our hearts to him, And to the world of bliss. [Refrain] 3 There may we come at last, to sing In nobler strains his praise; And join the little ones who stand Before our Father's face. [Refrain] Used With Tune: COME TO THE SAVIOUR
