10868. Jesus Loves The Children

1 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.

2 Jesus bids the children,
Come to Him, come to him,
Even they may find Him
Precious to redeem. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Now I pray, humbly pray,
Ever love and keep me,
Take my sins away. [Refrain]
