’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.
