Minnetonka Songs ‎#67

67. Jesus Loves Little Children

1 Jesus loves little children;
He is their friend,
His aid he will lend,
Like a shepherd he’ll lead them;
Come to him, children, today.

Chorus:
Children may come,
Children may come,
Children may come to the Savior,
Children may come,
Children may come,
Children may come and be saved.

2 Jesus now doth entreat you,
List to his voice,
Oh, hear and rejoice;
He is ready to meet you,
Little ones, turn not away. [Chorus]

3 Jesus now doth command you,
Do not delay,
Oh, haste to obey;
Dangers dark will surround you,
If from your Savior you stray. [Chorus]
