Representative Text

1 I know 'tis Jesus loves my soul,
And makes the wounded sinner whole;
My nature is by sin defiled,
Yet Jesus loves a little child.

Chorus:
Sweetly, sweetly, sweetly singing,
Let us praise him, praise him, bringing
Happy voices, voices, ringing
Like the songs of angels round the throne.

2 How kind is Jesus, oh, how good!
'Twas for my soul he shed his blood:
For children's sake he was reviled,
For Jesus loves a little child. [Chorus]

3 When I offend by thought or tongue,
Omit the right, or do the wrong,
If I repent, he's reconciled;
For Jesus loves a little child. [Chorus]

4 To me may Jesus now impart,
Although so young, a gracious heart;
Alas, I'm oft by sin defiled.
Yet Jesus loves a little child. [Chorus]
