Come on strong, no reserve I say, Rumble,
        tumble like judgement day                               487 Wisemen seeking Jesus
        Shake! shake! shake! O shake I say.                     Verse 1
                                                                Wise men, seeking Jesus,  travelled from afar,
        CHORUS                                                  Guided on their journey  by a beauteous star.
        O yes, we want a Youth-quake  to shake the              1/7
        nation; Send it, Lord, on his generation Turn us
        all inside out for You.                                 Verse 2 But if we desire him,  he is close at
                                                                hand; For our native country  is our Holy Land.
        Come on strong, no reserve I say, Rumble,               2/7
        tumble like judgement day
        Shake! shake! shake! O shake I say.                     Verse 3
        HOME                                                    Prayerful souls may find him  by our quiet lakes,
                                                                Meet him on our hillsides  when the morning
        486 When mothers of Salem,                              breaks. 3/7
        Verse 1
        When mothers of Salem,                                  Verse 4
        Their children brought to Jesus,                        In our fertile cornfields  while the sheaves are
        The stern disciples drove them back                     bound, In our busy markets,
        And bade them depart;                                   Jesus may be found. 4/7

        But Jesus saw them ere they fled,                       Verse 5 Fishermen talk with him  by ocean and
        And sweetly smiled, and kindly said:                    sea, As the first disciples  did in Galilee. 5/7
        Suffer the children to come unto me.  1/3
                                                                Verse 6 Every town and village  in our land
        Verse 2                                                 might be Made by Jesus' presence  like sweet
        How kind was our Saviour                                Bethany. 6/7
        To bid those children welcome;
        But there are many thousands                            Verse 7 He is more than near us,  if we love him
        Who have never heard his name;                          well; For he seeketh ever  in our hearts to dwell.
                                                                7/7
        Dear Saviour, hear us when we pray,                     HOME
        That they may hear thee to them say:
        Suffer the children to come unto me.  2/3               488 I just want to follow Jesus
                                                                Verse 1
        Verse 3                                                 You may be young and think  the world is at
        And soon may the heathen                                your feet
        Of every tribe and nation                               Perhaps you live from day to day
        Fulfil Thy blessed word, and cast
        Their idols all away;                                   But I confess that I have met  the Lord Jesus
                                                                Christ
        O shine upon them from above,                           And know that He's the only way.
        And show Thyself a God of love;
        Teach them, dear Saviour, to come unto thee.            Chorus
