The words
Verse 1. The Savior kindly calls
Our children to His breast;
He folds them in His gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
Verse 2. “Let them approach,” He cries,
“Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came.”
Verse 3. With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to Thee,
Imploring that, as we are Thine,
Thine may our offspring be.
