3 Full many a boy or girl grows up With no one near to save, And lives a sad and sinful life And fills a drunkard's grave, Then children never be afraid, Wherever you may be, To say to such a girl or boy, Why don't you come, with me? CHо. Why don't you come?"&c.

4 Just take them gently by the hand.
And talk to them of heaven,

And tell them kindly how to keep,
One blessed day in seven!

Then when you reach the pearly gates,
Your Saviour you will see,

And hear his blessed, blessed voice,
Say," children, come to me?

CHO. Why don't you come ?"&c.
