Vi Ha En Barnavän Så Kär

Representative Text

1 Vi ha en barnavän så kär
Han ljuva Jesus-namnet bär.
Kan moder glömma sina små,
Kan icke Jesus det ändå.

2 Nej, han bevarar sina små,
Att icke ett förloras må.
Han tar dem upp i famnen sin
Och säger milt: "Se du är min."

3 Ja, Jesus är vår vän så huld,
Och han utstryker all vår skuld.
Ty Jesu blod för oss ock flöt
Gud vare lov och tack för det!

4 Så få vi höra Jesus till,
Och stackars den oss hindra vill!
Han svara får hos barnens vän,
Som för oss ber i himmelen.
