Suffer the Children to Come

1. Suffer the children to come unto me,
I hear the Redeemer say;
Soon they may hope their Saviour to see,
If they do but watch and pray.
Of all who now will come to him
He will cast not one away;
He will take us from this world of sin,
To his home in eternal day.

Chorus:
Come, come, come;
Jesus is calling thee;
Come, come, come;
Come unto him today.

2. Come to thy Saviour, O come, come today,
While Jesus still waits for thee;
Flee now to him and no longer stray,
From sin he will make you free;
Our King is coming soon to reign,
And to take his people home;
He will cleanse our world from sin's last stain,
And establish on earth his throne. [Chorus]

3. Come now to Jesus, O why not today?
Now is the accepted time;
Seek thy Redeemer, do not delay,
And him you shall surely find.
From all our sins we may be free,
Come, O do not longer wait;
Haste, and from the tempter quickly flee,
Very soon it will be too late. [Chorus]
