123. The Sunday-School Fold

1 Come in, come in, dear children, come in,
There is room, there is love for you all:
We will tell you of Jesus, and help you along,
With counsel and prayer and, with beautiful song,
While the Master is sounding the call.

Chorus:
Come in, come in,
With gladness and song,
To the Sunday School fold.
Come in, come in,
With gladness and song,
To the Sunday School fold.

2 Come in, dear youths, we welcome you in;
There is room and a work for you, too:
We will consecrate all, in the freshness of youth,
To glorify God in the service of Truth,
Whatsoe'er he may give us to do. [Chorus]

3 Come in, come in, dear fathers, come in,
For the Master has work for you here:
We will share in the toils and the blessed reward,
And honor the Word and the work of the Lord,
Till the day of his judgment appear. [Chorus]

4 Come in, come in, dear mothers, come in,
For the love of your Saviour, come in!
We have need of your gentleness, tenderness, love
To train the dear lambs for the kingdom above,
And to save from the courses of sin. [Chorus]
