Gospel Hymn 262
THERE’S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

CHILDREN’S HYMN
H.C. 507 8.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.

1. There’s a Friend for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
A friend who never changes,
Whose love will never die;
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy,
The precious name He bears.

2. There’s a rest for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
For those who love the Saviour,
And “Abba Father” cry,
A rest in every trouble,
From sin and danger free,
Where every little pilgrim,
Shall rest eternally.

3. There’s a home for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory.
A home of peace and joy:
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare,
For everyone is happy,
Nor can be happier there.

4. There’s a crown for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
And all who look to Jesus,
Shall wear it by and by:
A crown of brightest glory;
Which He will then bestow,
On those who found His favour,
And loved Him here below.

5. There’s a song for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels;
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as King.

6. There’s a robe for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
A harp of sweetest music,
And palms of victory;
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone,
Oh, come dear little children,
That all may be your own!
