1 Hark! I hear the Saviour saying,
“Let the children come to me,
Joyfully will I receive them,
And their friend forever be.”

Refrain:
“Let them come, unto me,”
Hear the blessed Jesus say:
Sweet the call, unto all,
Let us heed it, and obey!

2 Yes, the gracious invitation
Is to young, as well as old;
And the lambs are ever welcome
To the loving Shepherd’s fold. [Refrain]

3 Let us try to be like Jesus;
Love and serve him every day,
Then we’ll have a home in heaven,
When from earth we pass away. [Refrain]
