Jesus bids you, children, hear!
Bless Him heart and tongue!
Come at once—by faith draw near,
While you yet are young.
Countless numbers heed His call!
Bless His tender love!
Jesus welcomes each and all
To His home above.
Children, now to Jesus haste,
And by Him be blest;
Not a moment dare you waste,
Make Him now your rest.
All your sins He’ll wash away,
Make you clean and white;
Not a spot shall on you stay
In God’s holy sight.
Bright and cheerful children they
Who the Saviour heed,
Who His loving words obey,
Happy they indeed.
All may join the joyful throng,
And may Jesus know;
All may to the Lord belong,
All may like Him grow.
