Let the Little Children Come
Let the Little Children Come
1. Favored little ones were they;Who towards him Jesus drew!Who within his arms he tookJust as loving parents do;Christ the Lord “Our living head.”This of little children said.“Such shall of my kingdom be,Suffer them to come to me.”
Listen to the Savior’s plea,“Let the children come to me;Let the little children come,Come to me,Come to me,Let the little chilren come,Come to me,Come to me.”
2. Jesus claims the children’s love;Jesus loves them as of old!Jesus calls from heav’n above,“Feed my lambs and guard the fold;”When the little children pray;Jesus is not far away!Jesus wants the children near,Listen to his words so clear.
Listen to the Savior’s plea,“Let the children come to me;Let the little children come,Come to me,Come to me,Let the little chilren come,Come to me,Come to me.”
