The Silver Chime ‎#20

20. Children of the Saviour's Care

1 Children of the Saviour's care,
Folded in his arms of grace,
Each to heav'nly promise heir,
Come and seek his face.

Chorus:
Then come, children, come,
Cease from your straying,
While "Suffer them to come"
The Saviour is saying.

2 Wait not till by sin defiled,
Fleshy heart will change to stone,
And the promise made the child
Is forever gone. [Chorus]

3 Dew of youth upon the brow,
Light of hope within the breast,
You may come to Jesus now,
And enjoy His rest. [Chorus]

4 Heav'nly Shepherd's gentle hand,
Stay the little wand'ring feet;
Turn them to the better land,
Bring them to thy seat. [Chorus]
