Hymnal: Living Hymns #183 (1890) First Line: Jesus, when he left the sky Refrain First Line: Little ones, little ones Lyrics: 1 Jesus, when he left the sky,
And for sinners came to die,
In his mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.
Chorus:
Little ones, little ones,
"Suffer them to come," said he;
Jesus loves the little ones,
Little ones like me.
2 Mothers then the Saviour sought
In the places where he taught,
And to him the children brought,
Little ones like me. [Chorus]
3 Did the Saviour say them nay?
No, he kindly bade them stay,
Suffered none to turn away
Little ones like me. [Chorus]
4 'Twas for them his life he gave,
To redeem them from the grave,
Jesus now will gladly save
Little ones like me. [Chorus]
