Blessed Words of Jesus

Representative Text

1 Jesus when he lived on earth,
Little children blest,
Took them in his loving arms,
Laid them on his breast.

2 Still are true his blessed words,
Ne'er to be forgot;
Suffer each to come to me,
And forbid them not.

3 Then to him I'll gladly come,
And will humbly pray,
Jesus take me for thine own,
Wash my sins away.
