Jesus is the gentle Shepherd
Who, upon the cross,
Died to save the little children,
When He died for us.
Jesus loves the little children,
Loves to hear them say,
Lord, my heart is very sinful,
Wash my sins away.
Jesus calls the little children,
Calls them tenderly;
Once He put His arms around, them,
Saying, “Come to Me.”
