The Children's Mission

1 Dear friends, we have a mission, too,
A place to work as well as you;
Our little feet can learn to tread,
Wherever by the Savior led.

Our hands can work,
Our tongues can sing,
Our hearts can love the children's King.

2 Our eyes that sparkle with delight,
Can make sad homes with pleasure bright;
Now let us clasp our hands to pray,
Dear Savior, hear the words we say.

Lord, bless the little children,
Wherever they may be,
Far out on the silent prairie,
Down by the sounding sea.
Like flowers in the crowded city,
Like birds in the forest free;
Lord, bless the little children,
Wherever they may be.

Amen, Amen.
