With rejoicing hearts we come,
Jesus is the little children’s friend;
We repeat it o’er and o’er,
For we love Him more and more,
Jesus is the little children’s friend.

Jesus is the little children’s friend,
Jesus is the little children’s friend,
We repeat it o’er and o’er,
For we love Him more and more,
Jesus is the little children’s friend.
2 There is much of joy below,—
None so sweet as this to know,
Jesus is the little children’s friend;
Other children we would bring,
Teach them how His praise to sing,
Jesus is the little children’s friend. [Refrain]
3 He will never let us stray,
But will lead us all the way,
Jesus is the little children’s friend;
His sweet promise we believe,
Little ones He doth receive,
Jesus is the little children’s friend. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are coming, one by one]
