There's a Friend for Little Children

Verse 1

There’s a Friend for little children above the bright blue sky, a Friend who never changes, whose love will never die; our earthly friends may fail us, and change with changing years; this Friend is always worthy of that dear name he bears.

Verse 2

There’s a rest for little children above the bright blue sky, who love the blessèd Saviour, and to the Father cry: a rest from every turmoil, from sin and sorrow free, where every little pilgrim shall rest eternally.

Verse 3

There’s a home for little children above the bright blue sky, where Jesus reigns in glory, a home of peace and joy: no home on earth is like it, nor can with it compare; for everyone is happy, nor could be happier, there.

Verse 4

There’s a crown for little children above the bright blue sky, and all who look for Jesus shall wear it by and by; a crown of brightest glory, which he will then bestow on those who found his favour and loved his name below.

Verse 5

There’s a song for little children above the bright blue sky, a song that will not weary, though sung continually; a song which even angels can never, never sing; they know not Christ as Saviour, but worship him as King.

Verse 6

There’s a robe for little children above the bright blue sky; and a harp of sweetest music, and palms of victory. All, all above is treasured, and found in Christ alone: Lord, grant thy little children to know thee as their own.
