Gather Them into the Fold

Open the door for the child­ren

Tenderly ga­ther them in

In from the high­ways and hedg­es

In from the places of sin.

Some are so young and so help­less

Some are so hun­gry and cold;

Open the door for the child­ren

Gather them in­to the fold.

Gather them in

oh

ga­ther them in

Gather

oh

ga­ther them in;

Open the door for the child­ren

Gather them in­to the fold.

Open the door for the child­ren

See! They are com­ing in throngs;

Bid them sit down to the ban­quet

Teach them your beau­ti­ful songs.

Pray you the Fa­ther to bless them

Pray you that grace may be giv’n;

Open the door for the child­ren

Such is the kin­gdom of Heav’n.

Open the door for the child­ren

Take the dear lambs by the hand;

Point them to truth and to Je­sus

Point them to Heav­en’s bright land.

Some are so young and so help­less

Some are so hun­gry and cold;

Open the door for the child­ren

Gather them in­to the fold.
