Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
Little children, while you’re young,
While your hearts are soft and tender;
Jesus loves the little one.
Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
While you’re happy, young and gay,
Trust in filim who died to save you,—
Died to wash your sins away.
Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
Soon will pass your youthful days,
And your heart will grow still harder
If you go in evil ways.
Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
Yea, He bids you trust Him now;
With your little heart believe Him,
Low before His footstool bow.
Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
Be is calling you today;
Gently calling little children,
None who, come are turned away.
Now’s the time to trust in Jesus,
Trust Him then with all your heart,
Then throughout eternal ages
From Him you will never part.
