Jesus loves His little children,
And He listens when they sing;
He accepts the grateful praises
That His little children bring.
Jesus sees His little children
When they fold their hands to pray;
And however softly they may whisper,
He can hear each word they say.
Jesus sees into the hearts of children,
Ev'ry thought that's good or ill;
And he knows the ones who truly love Him,
Those who long to do His will;
Like a shepherd, Jesus watches
Over them both night and day,
As He safely guides their little footsteps,
So that they don't go astray.
