Come un­to Me! still thro’ the ages fall­ing,
Like heav’n­ly voic­es mu­sic­al and sweet,
The lov­ing Sav­ior ten­der­ly is call­ing
The child­ren round His feet.

Refrain

Come un­to Me, come un­to Me,
Suffer the child­ren to come un­to Me.

Forbid them not, but with a pray­er­ful bless­ing,
Teach them to trust His ne­ver fail­ing care;
And feel His dear hands ten­der­ly ca­ress­ing
Their fair heads bowed in pray­er.

Refrain

For such as they the Fa­ther’s home in glo­ry
Waits with its joys across the crys­tal sea;
Then tell them oft the old yet sweet new sto­ry,
With pa­tience, ten­der­ly.

Refrain
