9105. Suffer Little Children

1 Suffer little children, and forbid them not,
Coming unto Jesus, this is what He taught.

Refrain:
Jesus loves the children, and we love Him, too;
We will do whatever He would have us do.

2 There are many places we can serve Him now;
If we’re only willing, He will tell us how. [Refrain]

3 We will not be idle when there’s work to do,
For He loves the children, and we love Him, too. [Refrain]
