The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#27

27. Oh, come, children, come to the Saviour to-day

1 Oh, come, children, come to the Saviour to-day:
Come, for all things are ready, oh, haste ye away:
Come and welcome to Jesus, nor longer delay;
Come and welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, nor longer delay.

2 He invites you to come: to his words now attend;
He calls you in love; he's the children's best Friend:
Come and welcome to Jesus, the children's kind Friend;
Come and welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, the children's kind Friend.

3 He died that the souls of the children might live:
He lives now in glory their prayers to receive:
Come and welcome to Jesus: repent and believe.

4 The Spirit says, "Come:" his gentle voice hear:
To-day pray for pardon, while Jesus is near:
Come and welcome to Jesus while he is so near.
