Jesus, Friend So Kind

1Jesus, Friend, so kind and gentle,
Little ones we bring to Thee:
Grant to them Thy dearest blessing,
Let Thine arms around them be;

RefrainNow enfold them in Thy goodness,
From all danger keep them free.

2Thou who did receive the children
To Thyself so tenderly.
Give to all who teach and guide them
Wisdom and humility.
