85. Jesus, the Children’s Friend

1 We love to sing of Jesus,
Our Savior kind and true,
Because He loves the children,
And we will love Him, too.

Refrain:
And we will love Him, too;
Yes, we will love Him too;
He loves the little children,
And we will love Him, too.

2 We love to work for Jesus,
And trust Him day by day,
For He is ever ready
To help us on our way. [Refrain]

3 We love to think of Jesus,
The children’s dearest Friend;
And if we only trust Him,
He’ll keep us to the end. [Refrain]
