THERE’S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
1. There’s a Friend for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
A Friend who never changeth,
Whose love can never die.
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy,
The precious name He bears.
2. There’s a rest for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Who love the blessed Saviour,
And AAbba, Father, cry;
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and danger free;
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
3. There’s a home for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy.
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare:
For every one is happy,
Nor could be happier, there.
4. There’s a crown for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by and by-
A crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On all who’ve found His favour
And loved His name below.
5. There’s a song for little children,
Above the bright blue sky-
A song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as King.
6. There’s a robe for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And a harp of sweetest music,
And a palm of victory,
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone;
Oh, come, dear little children,
That all may be your own.
