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.
So little children, Let’s you and I, Try to be like him, Try, Try, Try.
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.
So little children, Let’s you and I, Try to be like him, Try, Try, Try.
