Representative Text

1 Are any too young, any too young
To be brought to the Saviour today?
Are any so young, any so young
That he’ll turn them in sorrow away?

Refrain:
Suffer the children to come unto me,
Suffer the children to come unto me,
For of such, of such will the kingdom of heaven be.

2 Are any too old, any too old
To be brought to the Saviour today?
Are any so old, any so old
That he’ll send them forever astray? [Refrain]

3 Need any one fear, any one fear
To be brought to the Saviour today?
Need any one fear, any one fear
That he’ll hear not the penitent pray? [Refrain]

4 Let ev’ry one come, ev’ry one come,
And be brought to the Saviour today;
Let ev’ry one come, ev’ry one come
To the life-giving One while they may. [Refrain]
