I know a little girl,
Whose voice I often hear,
As merrily she sings,
With accents sweet and clear.
This dear child is assured
Her sins are cover’d all,
And that no vengeance can
Upon her ever fall:
That Jesus on the cross,
God’s wondrous love to show,
For young and old did die,
To save from endless woe.
If, children, ye believe
He suffer’d thus for you,
And liveth now to bless,
Ye should be singing too.
