Jesus calls the children dear, “Come to Me and never fear, For I love the little children of the world; I will take you by the hand, Lead you to the better land, For I love the little children of the world.”
Refrain: *Jesus loves the little children, [*Jesus died for all the children,] All the children of the world; Red, brown, yellow, black and white, All are precious in His sight, *Jesus loves the little children of the world. [*Jesus died for all the children of the world.]
Jesus is the Shepherd true, And He’ll always stand by you, For He loves the little children of the world; He’s a Savior great and strong, And He’ll shield you from the wrong, For He loves the little children of the world.
I am coming, Lord, to Thee, And Your soldier I will be, For You love the little children of the world; And Your cross I’ll always bear, And for You I’ll do and dare, For You love the little children of the world.
