17003. Come, Children, Come

1. Come, child­ren, come!
God bids you come!
Come, and learn to sing the sto­ry
Of the Lord of life and glo­ry.
Come, child­ren, come!

2. Come, child­ren, come!
Christ bids you come!
Early seek His face and fa­vor,
Love and serve your bless­èd Savior:
Come, child­ren, come.

3. Come, child­ren, come!
The Spir­it says come!
Come, with Zi­on’s sons and daugh­ters,
To the springs of liv­ing wa­ters:
Come, child­ren, come.

4. Come, child­ren, come;
All bid you come;
Come, unite your hearts and voic­es,
Listening Hea­ven then re­joic­es:
Come, child­ren, come.

5. Come, child­ren, come;
Make Heav’n your home;
Then, though earth­ly ties may se­ver,
You shall live with Christ for­ev­er:
Come, child­ren, come.
