How many children say

How many children say,

“I’d like to go to heaven;”

Yet never think that they

Must have their sins forgiven,

Before they can in glory be,

Or Jesus Christ in glory see,

Or Jesus Christ in glory see.

None can to glory go,

Or dwell with God above,

Save they who Jesus know,

And taste a Savior’s love.

The holy words of truth declare

No other grounds of entrance there,

No other grounds of entrance there.

But now this “living way”

To all is open free;

And little children may

Go in and happy be –

May have their sins through Christ forgiven,

The only way to enter heaven,

The only way to enter heaven.
