Come to Him for rest and blessing:
Trust, trust in Him!

Jesus calls!
He it is who died to save thee;
He it is who all things gave thee:
Come, follow Him!

Over highway, hill, and hollow—
Ev’rywhere He bids thee follow;
Yea, follow Him!
He will shield, uphold, and guide thee;
In His presence sweetly hide thee:
Trust, trust in Him! [Refrain]
3 Jesus calls!
There, where warfare He is waging,
And the angry foe is raging;
Come, follow Him!
With thy Captain onward leading,
Thou to victory art speeding:
Trust, trust in Him! [Refrain]

15. We are children of the King. [Children's Mission Hymn.] Written for the C.M.S. "Sowers' Band," 1891.
The whole of these hymns were included in the Church Missionary Hymn Book, 1899, and Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5,7, and 10, in Hymns of Consecration and Faith, 1902.
These hymns are of a special Missionary character, as their titles indicate, and in them Miss Stock has maintained her reputation as a hymn writer. Her death took place at Penmaenmaur, Aug. 27, 1898. The above details are from MS. notes supplied to us by her brother, Mr. Eugene Stock.
We must add that on p. 1094, Nos. 2 and 11 are given as two distinct hymns. This is an error. No. 2, "Behind and Before," is the Title of No. 11, "The tender light of home behind."
