505. Jesus, Friend of all the children

1 Jesus, Friend of all the children,
be my friend and guide.
Take my hand and ever keep me
at Your side.

2 Teach me how to grow in goodness
daily as I grow;
You have been a child, and surely
You will know.

3 Never leave me or forsake me,
ever be my friend;
for I need You from life's dawning
to its end.
