His Child I Want to Be

Author: Rev. C. H. Yatman Hymnal: Junior Songs #41 (1892) First Line: The children to Jesus may come Refrain First Line: I will love him, I will love him Lyrics: 1 The children to Jesus may come And life and salvation receive; New hearts will he give ev'ry one, If on him they only believe. Chorus: I will love him, I will love him, For his child I want to be; On the cross he died for sinners, On the cross he died for me. 2 My name will he write in his book, And call me a lamb of his fold; When Satan shall seek to devour, Then me in his hands will he hold. [Chorus] 3 I read in his own blessed word How little ones useful may be. I'll stand with my face to the cross, That others the Saviour may see. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [The children to Jesus may come]
