Let the Children Come (Helmer)

In the ear­ly spring­time

In its morn­ing fair

Little buds of pro­mise

Little blos­soms rare;

Hear the words of Je­sus

Precious will they be

Bring the lit­tle child­ren

Let them come to Me.

Let them come to Me

Let them come to Me

Bring the lit­tle child­ren

Let them come to Me.

He will now re­ceive you

If your hearts you bring

Humbly to the Sav­ior

Heav’n’s ex­alt­ed king;

For the in­vi­ta­tion

Gracious

full and free

Says to all the child­ren

Come

O come to Me.

Jesus

we are com­ing

To Thy lov­ing arms;

Safely there re­pos­ing

Sin no long­er harms;

From the wiles of Sa­tan

Thou canst set us free;

Tho’ we’re lit­tle child­ren

We will come to Thee.
