Author: Rev. O. E. M. Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 3 #37 (1898) First Line: Ere the little children Refrain First Line: Help us, Lord, to bring them Lyrics: 1 Ere the little children Stray away from God, In the ways of evil In the path so broad, Let some kind heart show them How they may begin, Living all for Jesus, Bring the children in. Refrain: Help us, Lord, to bring them To Thy shelt’ring fold, Help us, Lord, to keep them From the wolf and cold. Help us save the children From their every sin, Help us, blessed Jesus, Bring the children in. 2 While their hearts are tender, Each one may be turn’d; If they look to Jesus They will not be spurned. And if Death shall spare them Life’s long web to spin, They will shout the watchword. Bring the children in. [Refrain] 3 God who saves the parents, Wants the children too; This has been His promise All the ages through. God would have the children Sav’d from ev’ry sin; Let us then work with Him. Bring the children in. [Refrain] 4 When the children greet us In the glory land, With the holy angels And the blood-wash’d band. Then each child will love us More than earthly kin, As the shining angels Bring the children in. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ere the little children]
