1. The children's Friend is Jesus,
He calls them to His side;
He gave His life a ransom,
Heav'n's gate to open wide.

2. The children's Friend is Jesus,
He loves their joys to share,
He knows their little sorrows,
He longs each one to bear.

3. The children's Friend is Jesus,
There's no one else so true;
He keeps all those who trust Him,
As no one else can do.
