The best and sweetest chapter That ever I have read, Reminds me how the Savior Laid on the children’s head His holy hands in blessing; And let them come, says he, Because of such dear children, Shall heaven’s kingdom be.

Chorus

For Jesus loved the children, When he was here below; He loved them, and he blessed them, And he called them long ago.

Whene’er I read that story, And think of Jesus Christ, Whose blood for all our errors And all our sins sufficed, My heart is full of gladness, Because I know that he Still loves the little children, And so he loveth me.

Chorus

For Jesus loved the children, When he was here below; He loved them, and he blessed them, And he called them long ago.

Dear Jesus, may I ever Be kept a child of thine, And walking in thy footsteps, At last make heaven mine; And may that blessed story Be ever dear to me, That tells us how you love us, And bade us come to thee.

Chorus

For Jesus loved the children, When he was here below; He loved them, and he blessed them, And he called them long ago.
