Author: Jessie Eleanor Moore Hymnal: The Cokesbury Worship Hymnal #290 (1938) Lyrics: 1 Long ago the little children
Gathered close at Jesus’ knee,
For His kindly smile said gently,
“I love them and they love Me.”
2 Come and listen to the story,
Friend of children still is He;
Listen then and whisper softly,
“I love Him and He loves me.”
