1 Jesus said, how sweet the story!
Children may come unto Me,
For of such in all its glory,
Shall My heav’nly kingdom be.

Refrain:
Suffer the children to come unto Me,
Suffer the children, suffer the children
To come unto Me, unto Me.

2 Oh, how grand, and yet how simply,
Jesus calls the little child!
Never are His words harsh or angry,
But are loving, tender, mild. [Refrain]

3 Children, yes, but not forsaken,
We are welcomed by His love;
Hark! He calls, and bids us hasten
To His home of joy above. [Refrain]
