The Children's Savior

Representative Text

1 Jesus is our loving Saviour,
He, our best and constant friend;
In his service life is pleasure,
For he loveth to the end.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Here we at thy footstool bend,
Here we at thy footstool bend.

2 Jesus is the children's Saviour!
'Twas for them he shed his blood;
Died, that poor and needy sinners
Might be reconciled to God.
Dying Saviour!
Bearing thus our sinful load.

3 Jesus is the children's Saviour!
"Suffer them," he says, "to come,"
If they seek his face and favor,
They shall share his heav'nly home.
Risen Saviour!
Never more from thee to roam.

4 Loving, Suffering, Dying Saviour!
Risen, Glorious on thy throne,
Haste the day when every idol
Shall by truth be overthrown.
And the kingdoms
Of the earth to thee belong.
