Bringing in the Children

Well, children's choir tonight was, let's just say--exciting.  But, nonetheless, the children were there and rambunctiousness aside, they are still learning God's word and how to praise Him through song.  I know that it is a challenge sometimes for those of us who lead it, but when it's all said and done, God is still glorified.  I am thankful for being able to be a part of such a job as to help train these little children in the way that they should go. 

 

BRING IN THE CHILDREN

Bring in the children, O bring them today;
Speak to them gently, and show them the way;
Careless they wander, and thoughtless they roam;
Bring in the children, for here is their home.

Refrain

Bring, O bring the children,
O bring them today,
O bring them today;
Bring, O bring the children,
O bring them in today.

Bring in the children, O seek them abroad,
Win them from evil, and train them for God;
Gladly our mission O let us fulfill,
Knowing that Jesus will be with us still.

Refrain

Bring in the children, so friendless and poor;
Joy to their hearts will the Savior restore;
Bring in the children, compel them to come;
Jesus invites them, and yet there is room.

Refrain
