Text:	Little Ones Like Me
Tune:	[Jesus, when He left the sky]
Composer:	J. H. Hall

1 Jesus, when He left the sky,
And for sinners came to die,
In His mercy pass’d not by
Little ones like me.

Refrain:
Little ones like me;
Little ones like me;
In His mercy pass’d not by
Little ones like me.

2 ’Twas for them His life He gave,
To redeem them from the grave;
Jesus able is to save
Little ones like me. [Refrain]

3 Children then should love Him too,
Strive His holy will to do,
Pray to Him, and praise Him too,
Little ones like me. [Refrain]
