Jesus Loves You

Representative Text

1 Little children, do not fear, Jesus loves you,
How He loves you, how He loves you;
He will fill your hearts with cheer, He will guide you,
Where we’ll never die.

Refrain:
Jesus loves you, oh, believe it,
Jesus loves you, precious children;
How He loves you, oh, receive it,
For He loves you still.

2 Little children, come to Him, He will bless you,
He will bless you, He will bless you;
With His hand of love He waits to caress you,
Lead you home on high. [Refrain]

3 Little children, come today, He will hide you,
Safely hide you, safely hide you;
Trust His kind, unerring hand, He will guide you,
To that by and by. [Refrain]

4 Little children, do not fall, He will hold you,
Surely hold you, surely hold you;
He will hear you when you call, He’ll enfold you,
In His arms of love. [Refrain]

5 Little children, there’s a crown, you may wear it,
You may wear it, you may wear it;
When life’s burdens are laid down, you may wear it
In our home at last. [Refrain]
