33. Call to the Children

1 Oh, sweet is the voice of my Savior,
With accents of tenderest love;
Now calling His dear little children
To come to His mansions above.

Refrain:
Oh, come while the Savior is calling,
So tenderly pleading—Oh, come!
Be saved from your sins, and forever
Abide in His heavenly home.

2 He opens His arms to receive them,
With blessing and pardon of sin;
He washes away their transgressions,
And welcomes the little ones in. [Refrain]

3 Oh, listen to Jesus, your Savior,
His life for your ransom He gave;
He calls you to come to His kingdom,
To day He is waiting to save. [Refrain]

4 Oh, Spirit, still strive with the children!
Oh, Savior, still call them to Thee!
O children, believe now in Jesus,
For you His salvation is free. [Refrain]
