315. Jesus Loves the Little Ones

P.M.
1
Jesus loves the little ones;
 
Wondrous was the love
 
That brought Him down from glory,
 
In His bright home above,
 
To save poor little ones.
2
Jesus seeks the little ones,
 
Wandering far in sin;
 
They little know the patient love
 
That seeks their souls to win,
 
And save lost little ones.
3
Jesus died for little ones,
 
On that dreadful tree;
 
And then what bitter pain He bore,
 
And untold agony,
 
To save poor little ones.
4
Jesus lives for little ones
 
In the heaven above,
 
And ne’er forgets the precious lambs,
 
Who’ve trusted in His love,
 
And are His little ones.
5
Jesus thinks of little ones
 
All the night and day,
 
And all the time they’re sleeping,
 
And while they are at play,
 
And guards His little ones.
6
Soon He’ll take His little ones
 
To live in His home,
 
So safe with Him forever,
 
And nevermore to roam;
 
Ah! happy little ones!
