Come! The Saviour’s call obey
To him humbly kneel and pray;
Though he reigns above the sky,
Yet he looks with pitying eye,
Hears thy simple, fervent prayer,
Watches o’er thee everywhere.
Come, and learn his teachings mild,
Jesus loves a little child.
Come! His blessing to receive,
Paths of sin and folly leave;
He will grace and strength impart
To thy young and tender heart;
Guide thy feet in wisdom’s ways,
Fill thee with thy Maker’s praise.
Come, and learn his teachings mild,
Jesus loves a little child.
Come! No longer doubt or fear,
Strive to love and serve him here.
O, be gentle, kind and true,
Meekly in his steps pursue.
Such his glory soon will share
In his kingdom, gathered there.
Come, and learn his teachings mild,
Jesus loves a little child.
