Suffer the Children to Come

Author: J. Gilchrist Lawson Hymnal: Glad Tidings in Song #137 (1921) First Line: Suffer the children to come unto me Lyrics: 1 “Suffer the children to come unto Me!” Thus said the Master of earth and of sea; Jesus, who loveth the little ones still, Blesses them now if they do His good will. Refrain: “Suffer the children to come unto Me!” Thus said the Master of earth and of sea; I verily, verily, say unto thee. Suffer the children to come unto Me!” 2 With His own blood the dear children He bought, And all the lambs in His bosom are brought To the green pastures the still waters by; Christ, the Good Shepherd, their needs will supply. [Refrain] 3 When the dear Savior was here upon earth, Showing to mankind a little child’s worth, He said, with children and babes on His knees, “Like to the kingdom of Heaven are these.” [Refrain] 4 Samuel and Mary and Daniel and Ruth Worshiped the Savior in spirit and truth; Jacob and Joseph and Moses of Old Taught that the children may enter the fold. [Refrain] 5 Children once shouted hosannas of yore; Children may still their dear Savior adore; Youthful and aged glad anthems shall raise; Songs of the children shall perfect God’s praise. [Refrain] Topics: Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [Suffer the children to come unto me]
