1 Though sinful, weak and erring,
The God who dwells in light
Will hear a child preferring
His praises, with delight.

Chorus:
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
Because he first loved us.

2 Will stoop from heaven to listen
When children to him cry,
And mark the tears that glisten
In every weeping eye. [Chorus]

3 The Saviour has invited
The youngest to his love,
And deigns to smile delighted
Upon them from above. [Chorus]
