Jesus Once Was a Little Child

Lyrics

1. 1. — Jesus once was a little child,

   A little child like me;

   And he was pure and meek and mild,

   As a little child should be.

2. [Chorus]

   So, little children,

   Let’s you and I

   Try to be like him,

   Try, try, try.

3. 2. He played as little children play

   The pleasant games of youth;

   But he never got vexed if the game went wrong,

   And he always spoke the truth.
