1 The Savior kindly calls
Our children to His breast;
He folds them in His gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
Our children to His breast;
He folds them in His gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.

"Nor scorn their humble claim,
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came."
