A little child like me?"

He'll listen e'en to thee."

If I am doing wrong?"
"Oh, yes, He can; He looks at thee
All day and all night long."

If I should tell a lie?"
"Yes; if thou saidst it soft and low,
He'd hear it in the sky."
"God is in heaven: does He care
Thence to send good to me?"
"Yes; in His Word He doth declare
All good He giveth thee."
"God is in heaven: would He save
A little child like me?"

His life for such as thee."
