’Tis Je­sus loves the lit­tle ones,
And calls them as His own;
He’s always with the lit­tle ones,
They’re nev­er left alone.

Refrain

The lov­ing, lov­ing lit­tle ones,
The love­ly, love­ly lit­tle ones,
The bless­èd, bless­èd lit­tle ones,
The hap­py lit­tle ones.

Let lit­tle ones sing Je­sus’ name,
He loves to hear them sing
And fill His courts with joy­ful sound,
And make His prais­es ring.

Refrain

He loves to be with lit­tle ones,
And hear their child­like pray­er;
And ten­der­ly He takes them up
Into His lov­ing care.

Refrain

’Tis Je­sus whom the lit­tle ones
May call their lov­ing king;
’Tis He that makes them an­gels, too,
His name for aye to sing.
