The Savior Kindly Calls

The Savior kindly calls
Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.

“let them approach,” he cries,
“nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heav'n are such as these,
For such as these I came.”

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