We are lit­tle child­ren, very young in­deed,
But the Sav­ior’s pro­mise each of us may plead.

Refrain

If we seek Him ear­ly, if we come today,
We can be His lit­tle friends, He has said we may.

Little friends of Je­sus, what a hap­py thought!
Was a pre­cious pro­mise in the Bi­ble taught!

Refrain

Little friends of Je­sus, walk­ing by His side,
With His arm around us, ev­ery step to guide.

Refrain

We must love Him dear­ly with a con­stant love,
Then we’ll go and see Him in our home above.
