Jesus loves the little children, Once He took them on His knee, Gently put His arms around them, Saying, "Let them come to Me!"

Oh! He loves to see them kneeling, And with hands together pray; Loves to hear them call Him Jesus, If they mean the words they say.

If they trust Him as their Saviour, He will wash their sins away; He will take their hand and lead them All along the narrow way.

He would have them love each other, And be truthful, meek, and mild, Doing as their parents bid them, As He did when once a Child.
