192. Jesus Wants the Children

1 Jesus loves the children
In all their work and play,
He wants them for His kingdom,
To come to Him today.

Refrain:
Little ones, little ones,
Little ones like me,
Jesus wants the children,
His love is full and free.

2 Jesus wants the children
Wherever they may be,
In mansion or in cottage,
On land or on the sea. [Refrain]

3 Jesus wants the children
So weak and prone to stray,
He’ll keep and guide and guard them,
From Satan’s evil sway. [Refrain]
