New English Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal
Hymn 543 JESUS, FRIEND OF LITTLE CHILDREN Lyrics
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
Step by step, O, lead me onward,
Upward into youth;
Wiser, stronger, still becoming
In Thy truth.
4
Never leave me, nor forsake me;
Ever be my Friend;
For I need Thee from life’s dawning
To its end.
