144. Jesus needs the children

1 Even children may work for the Saviour,
There is work for ev’ry one to do;
We may help one another—
Cheer a sister or brother,—
Yes, Jesus needs even children, too.

Refrain:
We can work, watch, pray,
Labor ev’ry day,
Never letting a task displease us;
For He saves, we know,
And, our love to show,
Yes, ev’ry by and girl will work for Jesus.

2 Even children may work for the Saviour,
And receive rich blessings ev’ry day;
There are burdens to lighten,
There are sad hours to brighten,
Yes, Jesus needs us all along the way. [Refrain]

3 Even children may work for the Saviour,
And receive for labor more than gold;
We can tell the sweet story,
Of His love and His glory,
And gather others into the fold. [Refrain]
