LITTLE CHILDREN, COME TO JESUS.

S. B. Saxton, (1827— }

1. Little chil-dren, come to Je-sus; Hear Him saying, "Come to me;"

Blessed Jesus, who to save us Shed His blood on

Cal vary.

Little souls were made to serve Him, All His holy law ful-fill;

Lit-tle hearts were made to love Him, Lit-tle hands to do His will. A-men.

2 Little eyes to read the Bible
Given from the heavens above;
Little ears to hear the story

Of the Savior's wondrous love;
Little tongues to sing His praises,
Little feet to walk His ways,
Little bodies to be temples

Where the Holy Spirit stays.

3 We'll work by our prayers,
By the pennies we bring,

By small self-denials;
The least little thing

May work for our Lord in His harvest.

4 Until, by and by,

As the years pass, at length
We too may be reapers,

And go forth in strength

To work for our Lord in His harvest.

FATHER, LEAD ME DAY BY DAY.

"Posen." 7s.

Georg Christoph Strattner, (1650-1705) Arr. by Rev. Johann Anastasius Freylinghausen, (1670-1739) 1705.

Jesus? He lives in Heaven a - bove, Jesus? His home is everywhere, 3. Once He came down from Heaven, And became a little child, 4. He had no naughty tem- pers, He said no angry word;

He looks up-on good children, With ten-der-ness and love.
He loves that little children Should speak to Him in prayer.
He was so good and gentle, O-be-dient, meek, and mild.
And all good little children, Should be like Christ their Lord. Amen.

5 For He will make them holy,

And teachable and mild,
And has sent His Blessed Spirit
To every Christian child.

6 Then every night and morning
When I kneel down to pray,

I will ask the Holy Jesus,
To help me day by day.

THERE'S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.
