- 1The Savior kindly calls
- Our 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."
- 3With joy we bring them, Lord,
- Devoting them to Thee,
- Imploring, that, as we are Thine,
- Thine may our offspring be.
