Jesus is call­ing the child­ren,
Unto His side;
Opens His arms to re­ceive them,
Opens them wide.

Refrain

Gently to lead them,
Guard them and keep them,
Jesus is call­ing
The lambs to His fold.

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren,
Why should they stay
Out in the wil­der­ness wan­der­ing,
Going as­tray?

Refrain

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren,
Calling today;
Hasten, each one, for His bless­ing,
Do not de­lay.

Refrain

Jesus is call­ing the child­ren;
Here, Lord, are we,
Safe in the Good Shep­herd’s keep­ing
Ever to be.
