1
\nJesus, Friend of little children,
\nBe a friend to me;
\nTake my hand and ever keep me
\nClose to Thee.<\/p>\n
2
\nTeach me how to grow in goodness,
\nDaily as I grow;
\nThou hast been a child, and surely
\nThou dost know.<\/p>\n
3
\nStep by step, O, lead me onward,
\nUpward into youth;
\nWiser, stronger, still becoming
\nIn Thy truth.<\/p>\n
4
\nNever leave me, nor forsake me;
\nEver be my Friend;
\nFor I need Thee from life’s dawning
\nTo its end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
