Religious Music - Come Hither, Ye Children lyrics

Come hither, ye children, O come one and all

To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small

God's Son for a gift has been sent you this night

To be your Redeemer, your joy and delight.

He's born in a stable for you and for me

Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see

In swaddling clothes lying, so meek and so mild

And purer than angels the heavenly Child.

See Mary and Joseph with love-beaming eyes

Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies

The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love

While angels sing loud hallelujahs above.

Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today

Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they

Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast

And join in the song of the heavenly host.

O Jesus, my Savior, what must not be done

What must not be suffered for sin to atone

From infancy sorrow and pain Thou must know

Till Thou on the cross tasteth death's bitter woe.

Dear Christ Child, what gifts can we children bestow

By which our affection and gladness to show

No riches and treasures of value can be

But hearts that believe are accepted with Thee.

Our hearts, then, to Thee we will offer today

We offer them gladly; accept them we pray

And make them so spotless and pure that we may

Abide in Thy presence in Heaven for aye...
