Representative Text

1. Bring in the children, O bring them today;
Speak to them gently, and show them the way;
Careless they wander, and thoughtless they roam;
Bring in the children, for here is their home.

Refrain
Bring, O bring the children,
O bring them today,
O bring them today;
Bring, O bring the children,
O bring them in today.

2. Bring in the children, O seek them abroad,
Win them from evil, and train them for God;
Gladly our mission O let us fulfill,
Knowing that Jesus will be with us still. [Refrain]

3. Bring in the children, so friendless and poor;
Joy to their hearts will the Savior restore;
Bring in the children, compel them to come;
Jesus invites them, and yet there is room. [Refrain]
