Representative Text

1 From far across the rolling sea
Sweet words of kindness come to me,
“Of such shall heaven’s kingdom be,
Let little children come.”

Chorus:
“Let them come to me,
Trusting, lovingly.
Except ye come as little ones,
Ye cannot come to me.”

2 We seem to hear His tender voice
bid ev’ry longing heart rejoice
Who early make the Lord their choice
Oh, let the children come! [Chorus]

3 Oh, turn not youthful hearts away,
In foolish paths of sin to stray,
Let little children learn to pray
And unto Jesus come. [Chorus]
