The Children's Savior

1 Jesus is our loving Saviour,
He, our best and constant Friend;
In his service life is pleasure,
For he loveth to the end.
Loving Saviour!
Here we at thy footstool bend.

2 Jesus is the children's Saviour!
'Twas for them he shed his blood;
Died, that poor and needy sinners
Might be reconciled to God.
Dying Saviour!
Bearing thus our sinful load.

3 Jesus is the children's Saviour!
Suffer them, he says, to come;
If they seek his face and favor,
They shall share his heavenly home.
Risen Saviour!
Nevermore from thee to roam.

4 Loving, suffering, dying Saviour!
Risen, glorious on thy throne,
Haste the day when every idol
Shall by truth be overthrown,
And the kingdoms
Of the earth to thee belong.
