Little Children Far Away

Little children, far away, Loving gifts we bring

Tune: [Little children, far away]
Published in 4 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Little children far away,
Loving gifts we bring today,
That of Jesus you may learn,
And to Christ the Savior turn.

Chorus:
Loving gifts we're bringing,
That you, too, may know our Friend,
And His praise be singing.

2 Little children far away,
For you we will work and pray,
And our gift we'll gladly send,
Telling you of Christ, our Fried. [Chorus]
