Jesus Loves the Little Children (Fillmore)

Jesus said of lit­tle child­ren

Suffer them to come to Me

For to such My heav­en­ly king­dom

Shall a home of wel­come be.

I love Him

He loves me

And His child I want to be

For He said the lit­tle child­ren

And I know that He means me.

When I try to be like Je­sus—

Patient

gen­tle

meek and mild

Then it is He smiles and loves me

Then He owns me as His child.

I love Him

He loves me

And His child I’ll try to be

For He said the lit­tle child­ren

And I know that He means me.

Every day

as I grow old­er

More I’ll try to do His will

Growing wis­er

strong­er

bet­ter

Every du­ty to ful­fill.

I’ll love Him

He’ll love me

His dis­ci­ple I will be

For He said the lit­tle child­ren

And I know that He means me.
