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.
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."
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came."
3. With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to Thee,
Imploring that, as we are Thine,
Thine may our offspring be.
Devoting them to Thee,
Imploring that, as we are Thine,
Thine may our offspring be.
