Representative Text

1. Jesus, from Thy throne on high,
Far above the bright blue sky,
Look on us with loving eye;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

2. Little children need not fear
When they know that Thou art near;

Hear us, Holy Jesus!

3. Little hearts may love Thee well,
Little lips Thy love may tell,
Little hymns Thy praises swell;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!
