Jesus loves the children,
Loves them so, loves them so,
That He died to save them
From a world of woe.
Refrain
I am but a little child,
This I know, this I know,
But I love the Savior,
Because He loves me so.
Jesus bids the children,
Come to Him, come to him,
Even they may find Him
Precious to redeem.
Refrain
Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Now I pray, humbly pray,
Ever love and keep me,
Take my sins away.
