God, who lives in glory,
Who this world has made;
Every man and woman,
Every boy and maid;
Longs that little children,
With Himself may be,
Sent His Son from heaven,
Down to earth for me.
Jesus left the glory,
Came to earth to seek,
All who need a Saviour,
Therefore children weak:
Gave His life to save them,
Died their love to win;
Now He lives to take them,
His bright home within.
O, I love the Saviour,
For He loves me so!
And I long to see Him
And His beauty know.
Yes, I know He’ll take me
Soon with Him to be;
Then, O I shall praise Him
For His love to me!
