Say, little friends, and big ones too,
God sends this message, ’tis for you;
Now is the time, Salvation’s Day,
Receive the Saviour while you may.
How old are you? Six, seven, or eight?
Come now to Jesus, do not wait.
The knocker of His door is low.
The smallest child to Him may go.
How old are you? Nine, ten, eleven?
Is your name written yet in Heaven?
The Book of Life alone records
The names of those who are the Lord’s.
How old are you? Twelve or thirteen?
Ask your own heart —
“What does it mean
That JESUS died on Calvary?”
Can you reply: “It was for me"?
How old are you? Fourteen or more?
Come! enter now through Christ the Door;
In Him is everything you need,
In Him you’ll find new life indeed.
How old are you? That matters not.
His blood alone can cleanse each spot;
You need Him, whether young or old,
There’s room for all within His fold.
How old are you? The years pass by,
And soon will come ETERNITY;
The Holy Spirit calls today,
Come now, His loving call obey.
