1. Let the children come to Jesus,
    For He loves each little one,
    Let them learn to sing His praises,
    From the dawn till setting sun.
    • Refrain:
      Let the children come to Jesus,
      Lay them on His gentle breast;
      Let the children come to Jesus,
      And of Him be ever blest.
  2. Guard their precious hearts from evil;
    Teach them while they yet are small;
    Train their little souls for heaven,
    Ere in depths of sin they fall.
  3. Teach the children, brother, sister,
    ’Tis a duty you can do;
    If you cannot preach to others,
    Christ will give His lambs to you.
  4. Let the children come to Jesus,
    Father, mother, bring them in;
    If your little ones are precious,
    Save them from this world of sin.
