Little Children, Come to Jesus

lyricist: Mrs. C. A. Holmes, 1864
Composer: Burt Saxton

Little child­ren

come to Je­sus;

Hear Him say­ing

Come to Me;

Blessèd Je­sus

who to save us

Shed His blood on Cal­va­ry.

Little souls were made to serve Him

All His ho­ly law ful­fill;

Little hearts were made to love Him

Little hands to do His will.

Little eyes to read the Bi­ble

Given from the heav’ns ab­ove;

Little ears to hear the sto­ry

Of the Sav­ior’s won­drous love;

Little tongues to sing His prais­es

Little feet to walk His ways

Little bo­dies to be tem­ples

Where the Ho­ly Spir­it stays.

There are lit­tle crowns in Heav­en

There are lit­tle harps of gold;

There are lit­tle shin­ing dress­es

There are gems and joys un­told.

Jesus gave His blood to buy them;

He has bought enough for all;

Little child­ren

come to Je­sus—

He has love for great and small.
