1 Jesus, high in glory,
Lend a list'ning ear;
When we bow before Thee,
Children's praises hear.
2 Though Thou art so holy,
Heaven's Almighty King,
Thou wilt stoop to listen
When Thy praise we sing.
3 We are little children,
Weak and apt to stray;
Saviour, guide and keep us
In the heavenly way.
4 Save us, Lord, from sinning;
Watch us day by day;
Help us now to love Thee;
Take our sins away;
5 Then, when Jesus calls us
To our heavenly home,
We would gladly answer,
"Saviour, Lord, we come."
Amen.
