3798. Little Girls and Little Boys

1. 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.

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

3. 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. [Refrain]
