Calvary Songs ‎#32

32. Jesus Loves a Little Child

1 Jesus loves a little child,
Smiling in its infant glee,—
Says of such in accents mild,
"Let them come to me;"
Let them come, forbid them not;
They will sing around the throne;
Millions now are singing there,
Millions more may come.

Refrain:
Jesus loves a little child,
Smiling in its infant glee,—
Says of such, in accents mild,
"Let them come to me."

2 In the blessed Sunday-school,
They are taught to fear the Lord;
Here they find his holy way,
Learn to love his word;
Armed with this they may go forth,—
Triumph over every foe,—
Spreading joy o'er all the earth,
Soothing human woe. [Refrain]

3 When life's toilsome work is done,
When the stormy strife is o'er—
Then around his shining throne,
On the blissful shore,
Shall his happy children meet,
Sing and shout, their sufferings o'er,—
Cast their crowns at Jesus' feet,
Praise him evermore. [Refrain]
