Lyrics

Little child­ren, seek the Sav­ior
In the sun­ny days of youth;
Seek to know Him, learn to love Him;
Study now the Gos­pel truth.

Refrain

Soon the storms of life may ga­ther,
Soon shall win­try age come on;
Oh, seek re­fuge in the Sav­ior,
He will safe­ly guide you home.

Still the sky is clear above you,
Brightly shines the morn­ing sun;
Do not lin­ger by the way­side,
For life’s course is quick­ly run.

Refrain

Consecrate your­selves to Je­sus,
For He shed His blood for you;
Ever love Him, ever serve Him,
Daily He’ll your strength re­new.

Refrain

Many child­ren now are sing­ing
Round the throne of God above;
For they sought the Sav­ior ear­ly,
And they learned the truth to love.
