12520. Little Children, Come To Jesus

1 Little children, come to Jesus;
Hear Him saying, "Come to Me";
Blessèd Jesus, who to save us
Shed His blood on Calvary.
Little souls were made to serve Him,
All His holy law fulfill;
Little hearts were made to love Him,
Little hands to do His will.

2 Little eyes to read the Bible
Given from the heav’ns above;
Little ears to hear the story
Of the Savior’s wondrous love;
Little tongues to sing His praises,
Little feet to walk His ways,
Little bodies to be temples
Where the Holy Spirit stays.

3 There are little crowns in Heaven,
There are little harps of gold;
There are little shining dresses,
There are gems and joys untold.
Jesus gave His blood to buy them;
He has bought enough for all;
Little children, come to Jesus—
He has love for great and small.
