“AND JESUS TOOK LITTLE CHILDREN IN HIS ARMS.”
I will go to Jesus now,
His arms are open still for youth,
He will hear my early vow,
He will lead my heart to truth.
His arms are open still for youth,
He will hear my early vow,
He will lead my heart to truth.
When I wake with morning light,
I will seek his blessed voice,
And when fall the shades of night,
He shall be my happy choice.
I will seek his blessed voice,
And when fall the shades of night,
He shall be my happy choice.
He will teach me how to pray,
He will teach me what to do;
How to pass a holy day,
How to keep my God in view.
He will teach me what to do;
How to pass a holy day,
How to keep my God in view.
When my heart is faint and weak,
And some foolish fear alarms,
I my Saviour's word will seek,
He will hold me in his arms.
And some foolish fear alarms,
I my Saviour's word will seek,
He will hold me in his arms.

When a sinful thought comes by,
Or angry passions move my breast,
I will bid the tempter fly;
In His arms again I'll rest.
Or angry passions move my breast,
I will bid the tempter fly;
In His arms again I'll rest.
Then happy will the moment prove,
When God shall call me up to Heaven,
When Jesus folds me in his love,
And faults repented are forgiven.
When God shall call me up to Heaven,
When Jesus folds me in his love,
And faults repented are forgiven.
