149. Little Friends of Jesus

1 Do you know what makes us happy,
When so many hearts are sad?
We are little friends of Jesus,
That is why we are so glad.

Chorus:
We are little friends, we are loving friends,
We are happy, happy little friends of Jesus;
We are little friends, we are loving friends,
We are happy all day long.

2 Jesus loves the children dearly,
In his Word he tells them so;
Once he took them up and blessed them,
Many, many years ago. [Chorus]

3 We are little lambs of Jesus:
He, our Shepherd kind and dear,
Speaks, and, though we do not see him,
In our hearts his voice we hear. [Chorus]

4 If we try our best to please him
He will take us by and by
Where our spirit eyes will know him,
Far beyond the starry sky. [Chorus]
