lit­tle child­ren

So says our bless­èd Lord;
I will take you by the hand,
Let the child­ren come, let the child­ren come.
God is love, God is love;
On Christ­mas day, on Christ­mas day?
Above the bright blue sky,
For your ten­der love I plead;
As they go, as they go;
Peace is our watch­word,
end
Suffer them to come to Me,
Let them come to Me.
And let them come to Me.
For I will re­ceive them
Suffer the child­ren to come un­to Me,
And do not wish the Lord’s to be—
Laid each dear hand on some lit­tle one’s head,
Of our lov­ing Sav­ior tell?
Once a love­ly shin­ing star
