The lit­tle ones, tho’ ve­ry young,
May learn the sto­ry pre­cious;
And ev­er­more may stand among
The friends who wor­ship Je­sus.

Refrain

Then, lit­tle girls and lit­tle boys,
Come in for lov­ing greet­ing;
O come and share our Sab­bath joys,
The Bi­ble truths re­peat­ing.

The lit­tle ones may sun­shine bring
To ma­ny hearts awea­ry;
Like lit­tle birds upon the wing
Light up the path­ways dreary.

Refrain

The lit­tle ones may please the Lord
By us­ing best en­dea­vor,
To win their mates by deed and word
To love and serve Him ev­er.
