Verse 1

We are little friends of Jesus, On the road from earth to heaven; We have just commenced the mission Which to us the Lord has given.

Chorus

Yes, we know sweet rest awaits us, By and by, when life is o’er; He will guide our little footsteps To the bright and shining shore.

Verse 2

Help us each to be a sunbeam, Or a star to shine so bright; In the corners, by the wayside, Turning darkness into light.

Chorus

Yes, we know sweet rest awaits us, By and by, when life is o’er; He will guide our little footsteps To the bright and shining shore.

Verse 3

God has left to us a mission, Work to do with all our heart; We must fill our hands with kindness, While our lips His love impart.

Chorus

Yes, we know sweet rest awaits us, By and by, when life is o’er; He will guide our little footsteps To the bright and shining shore.
