Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#73

73. Let Them Come

1 Oh, I love to think how Jesus
When He walked on earth below,
Used to bless the little children,
For He lov’d them, lov’d them so!

Refrain:
Unto me, unto me,
Of the little ones saith He:
For the blessed heavenly kingdom
Of such as they shall be.

2 When the mothers came and brought Him,
Tender infants, young and small,
And so earnestly besought Him
For His blessing on them all. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ disciples would rebuke them,
Turn the little ones away,
In His gentle arms He took them,
And they heard Him sweetly say— [Refrain]

4 Little children, now from Jesus,
Will you His dear blessing seek?
From His home on high He sees us,
Hear Him kindly to us speak. [Refrain]

5 Just as close His arms will hold you;
Just as kind His blessings fall;
Just as warm His love enfold you,
Just as sweetly doth He call. [Refrain]
