Author: Walter J. Mathams Hymnal: Sing for Joy #20 (1961) Topics: Play and Work Lyrics: 1 Far away in old Judea
Lived the gentle Lord of Love.
Happy children gathered round him
Everywhere that he might move.
And they sometimes left their play,
Just to follow him all day.
2 Oh, what wondrous tales he told them
Of our Father's thoughtful care;
How he loves us, leads us, keeps us,
Every day and everywhere;
That we never need to fear,
Since his help is always near!
