The Saviour kindly calls

1

The Saviour kindly callsOur children to his breast;He folds them in his gracious arms;Himself declares them blest.

2

"Let them approach," he cries,"Nor scorn their humble claim;The heirs of heaven are such as these;For such as these I came."

3

With joy we bring them, Lord,Devoting them to thee;Imploring that, as we are thine,Thine may our offspring be.
