37. Little Ones Like Me

1 Jesus, when He left the sky,
And for sinners came to die,
In His mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.
Little ones like me,
Little ones like me,
In His mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.

2 Mothers then the Savior sought,
In the places where He taught,
Unto Him their children brought,
Little ones like me.
Little ones like me,
Little ones like me,
Unto Him their children brought,
Little ones like me.

3 Did the Savior say them nay?
No, He kindly bid them stay;
Suffered none to turn away,
Little ones like me.
Little ones like me,
Little ones like me,
Suffered none to turn away,
Little ones like me.

4 Children then should love Him true,
Strive His holy will to do,
Pray to Him and praise Him too,
Little ones like me.
Little ones like me,
Little ones like me,
Pray to Him and praise Him too,
Little ones like me.
