Jesus calls to little children,
And His words are words of love;
"Come to Me, receive My blessing!
Come to Me, and live above!"

"But," you say, "He lives in heaven;
How can I approach Him there?"
Listen then to what He utters,
Thus His gracious words declare-

"Though in glory I am seated,
Even the softest word I hear;
And the voice of little children
Soundeth sweetly in Mine ear.

"In My love to ruined sinners,
To this wretched world I cam:
Here I died to make atonement;
Justice now no more can claim.

"Sinners now in Me believing
Everlasting life receive;
Come in faith, to Me for pardon-
I have died that thou mayest live."
