Come to Jesus, Little One

Come to Jesus, little one! Come to Jesus now!

Published in 46 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Come to Jesus, little one;
Come to Jesus now;
Humbly at his gracious throne,
In submission, bow.

2 At his feet confess your sin;
Seek forgiveness there;
For his blood can make you clean,--
He will hear your prayer.

3 Seek his face without delay;
Give him now your heart;
Tarry not, but, while you may,
Choose the better part.
