++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Jesus, Friend of little children,
Be a friend to me;
Take my hand and ever keep me
Close to Thee.
2. Teach me how to grow in goodness
Daily as I grow;
Thou hast been a child, and surely
Thou dost know.
3. Never leave me nor forsake me,
Ever be my Friend;
For I need Thee from life’s dawn
To its end.
