1 I am so glad that the Savior hath said,
“Come unto Me, come unto Me,”
When He bestowed on each little one’s head,
Blessings so rich and free.
Refrain:
Come to the Savior, dear children, today,
Come, let us walk in the heavenly way;
Sweet is the promise to those who obey;
Come, there is room for all.
2 I am so glad He is ever the same,
Loving and kind, loving and kind;
Speak unto all of His wonderful name,
Grace in His mercy find. [Refrain]
3 I am so glad for His mercy and love
Given to me, given to me;
If I will serve Him He’ll lead me above—
Home of the pure and free. [Refrain]
4 I am so glad He permits me to live,
Wonderful thought, wonderful thought;
All of my life to His service I give,
For with His blood I’m bought. [Refrain]
