                            Suffer the Children


1.   Suffer the children to come unto Me. Don't forbid them, of such is the
     Kingdom of God. These are the words of our Savior and King As He lifted
     them up in His arms, blessing them.

     Chorus:
     Suffer the children, permit them to come; Open your arms to your own
     little ones. Suffer the children, they're blest from above; Let not one day
     pass by without showing your love.

2.   Suffer the children, and teach them of God, When you sit in your home,
     when you walk by the way. Teach them of judgment, of mercy and faith,
     When they lie down to sleep, when they rise up each day.

     Chorus:
     Suffer the children, permit them to come; Open your arms to your own
     little ones. Suffer the children, they're blest from above; Let not one day
     pass by without showing your love.

3.   Suffer the children, become childlike too. Be converted, love God as the
     little ones do. Humble and trusting, believing are they; Be God's children
     and heirs to His Kingdom that day.

     Chorus:
     Suffer the children, permit them to come; Open your arms to your own
     little ones. Suffer the children, they're blest from above; Let not one day
     pass by without showing your love.
