Jesus Is Calling the Children

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren

Unto His side;

Opens His arms to re­ceive them

Opens them wide.

Gently to lead them

Guard them and keep them

Jesus is call­ing

The lambs to His fold.

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren

Why should they stay

Out in the wil­der­ness wan­der­ing

Going as­tray?

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren

Calling today;

Hasten

each one

for His bless­ing

Do not de­lay.

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren;

Here

Lord

are we

Safe in the Good Shep­herd’s keep­ing

Ever to be.
