Jesus, when a little child,
Was obedient, meek, and mild;
I have wicked thoughts within,
And am prone to ways of sin.
Jesus left His home above,
Came to earth in grace and love,
On the cross to bleed and die
For poor sinners such as I.
Jesus now to heaven is gone,
Where He sits upon the throne;
And is waiting to receive
All who on His name believe.
Jesus soon again will come
To convey believers home;
Then shall they His face behold,
All who’ve loved Him, young and old.
