145. It Fill My Heart with Joy

1 When Jesus called the little ones,
He said that they would welcome be;
It fills my heart with joy to know
He spoke those words for me,
For me, for me, He spoke those words for me,
It fills my heart with joy to know,
He spoke those words for me.

2 The Saviour took them in his arms,
And gave his blessing tenderly;
It fills my heart with joy to know
His blessing is for me,
For me, for me, His blessing is for me,
It fills my heart with joy to know,
His blessing is for me.

3 Our Saviour listen'd to the praise
Of children's voices, glad and free,
It fills my heart with joy to know
He listens now to me,
To me, to me, He listens now to me,
It fills my heart with joy to know,
He listens now to me.
