Early teach the little children,
Of the Lord who came to die;
Came to bring them free salvation,
Take them to His Home on high.
Jesus loves the little children,
Left His happy home above,
Came to seek the lost and straying,
He, whose heart is full of love.
When on earth the Saviour, Jesus,
Laid His hands upon their head,
Took them in His arms and blessed them,
“Let them come to Me,” He said.
Come, then, children, do not tarry,
Seek the Saviour while you may;
Trust Him, He who died to save you;
Soon He’ll come; perhaps today.
