Tune:WALES

104. Little child, do you love Jesus?

1 Little child, do you love Jesus?
Oh, how he loves!
Do you wish to go to heaven?
Oh, how he loves!
First of all ask his forgiveness
With your heart, although quite helpless;
Jesus little children blesses;
Oh, how he loves!

2 He will listen to your prayer;
Oh, how he loves!
Feed you by his tender care;
Oh, how he loves!
He became a child just like you;
Here he suffer'd to redeem you;
And at last he died to save you;
Oh, how he loves!

3 Yes, dear Jesus, we will love thee;
Oh, we will love!
Trusting in thy grace to aid us,
Oh, we will love!
And with thee to guide and bless us,
Tread the heavenly way before us,
Singing still, in joyful chorus,
Oh, how he loves!

4 Then, in yon bright world of glory,
Oh, there we'll sing!
There we'll ever bow before thee:
Oh, there we'll sing!
And, with happy spirits blending,
Swell the song that has no ending,
Ever loving, ever singing,
Oh, how he loves!
