Suffer the Children (Burnham)

Suffer the child­ren to come—and the Sav­ior

Held them with strong and with lov­ing arm;

So ev­ery day He is bid­ding us near­er

Longing to save us from sin and harm.

Come un­to Him

come un­to Him

Longing to save from harm.

Come un­to Me

are the words to His child­ren

Wherever griev­ing because of sin;

Rest for your souls is His own bless­èd pro­mise

O let His love

His di­vine love in.

Come un­to Him

come un­to Him

Let His di­vine love in.

Easy the yoke that His mer­cy im­pos­eth

Choose ye

O choose ye the bet­ter part;

Light is the bur­den that’s car­ried in meek­ness

Ye that are lov­ing and low­ly in heart.

Come un­to Him

come un­to Him

Ye that are low­ly in heart.
