God so loved the world, we know,
For the Bible tells us so;
“Little ones” to Christ belong,
They are weak, but He is strong.
Jesus loves them though they’re bad,
And He waits to make them glad,
‘Twas for this to earth He came,
Blest are they who know His name.
Jesus loves them, He who died,
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will take away their sin,
For His blood can make them clean.
Jesus loves them, loves them still,
When they’re very weak and ill,
From His shining place on high,
Watches all, where’er they lie.
