Jesus, when He left the sky,
And for sinners came to die,
In His mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.
Refrain :
Little ones, little ones,
Little ones like me;
In His mercy passed not by
Little ones like me.
Mothers then the Savior sought
In the places where He taught,
And to Him their children brought-
Little ones like me.
Refrain :
Little ones, little ones,
Little ones like me;
And to Him their children brought-
Little ones like me.
Did the Savior say them nay?
No! He kindly bade them stay,
Suffered none to turn away
Little ones like me.
Refrain :
Little ones, little ones,
Little ones like me;
Suffered none to turn away
Little ones like me.
‘Twas for them His life He gave,
To redeem them from the grave;
Jesus now will gladly save
Little ones like me.
Refrain :
Little ones, little ones,
Little ones like me;
Jesus now will gladly save
Little ones like me.
