Children, to the Rescue

Children

to the res­cue!

The world is full of sin;

Come to the field of har­vest

And thrust the sic­kle in;

Let no one lin­ger idle

Or urge his friend to stay

There’s work enough for all

In God’s great field to­day.

Children

to the res­cue!

And do what­e’er you can;

For ’tis a glo­ri­ous mis­sion

To work for God and man.

Children

to the res­cue!

The world is full of woe;

Put smiles for tears

I pray you

In some heart as you go;

Fear not to do a kind act

To any by the way

But work to hast­en on

The great mil­len­ni­al day.

Children

to the res­cue!

The world is full of doubt;

The lamp of faith hold high­er

And send its rays about;

Fail not to shed a glim­mer

On some be­night­ed heart

And point him to the home

God’s love has set apart.
