Lord, I’m but a little child,
Yet throughout by sin defiled;
Deep is my heart’s need of Thee,
Who alone from sin can free.
Thou for little ones hast died —
By the wicked crucified—
Men have shed Thy precious blood,
Whereby peace was made by God.
In Thee only I believe;
From Thee, Lord, I all receive—
Peace, eternal life and heaven,
All my sins for e’er forgiven.
Thou Thyself art my blest part,
And the joy of my young heart;
All I need in Thee I find—
Boundless love and grace combined.
Thou alone canst satisfy
In this world of Satan’s lie;
For, blest Lord, I’ve found in Thee
Joy to all eternity.
