Text: | Open the Door for the Children |
Tune: | [Open the door for the children] |
Composer: | C. C. Case |
1 Open the door for the children,
Tenderly gather them in--
In from the highways and hedges,
In from the places of sin;
Some are so young and so helpless,
Some are so hungry and cold.
Open the door for the children,
Gather them into the fold.
Chorus:
Open the door, for the children;
Tenderly gather them in--
In from the highways and hedges,
In from the places of sin.
2 Open the door for the children,
See! they are coming in throngs;
Bid them sit down to the banquet,
Teach them your beautiful songs;
Pray you the Father to bless them,
Pray you that grace may be giv'n.
Open the door for the children,
Of such is the Kingdom of Heav'n. [Chorus]
3 Open the door for the children,
Take the dear lambs by the hand;
Point them to truth and to goodness,
Send them to Canaan's land;
Some are so young and so helpless,
Some are so hungry and cold.
Open the door for the children,
Gather them into the fold. [Chorus]
