HYMN DAY! How about one with which we should all be acquainted: “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” written by a Chicago preacher, Clare Herbert Woolston, in the late 1800s. I’m sure you know the refrain; the stanzas may be new.

Jesus calls the children dear,
‘Come to me and never fear,
For I love the little children of the world.
I will take you by the hand,
Lead you to the better land
For I love the little children of the world. REFRAIN

REFRAIN:
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world;
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Jesus is the Shepherd true,
And he’ll always stand by you,
For he loves the little children of the world.
He’s a Saviour great and strong,
And he’ll shield you from the wrong,
For he loves the little children of the world. REFRAIN
