Once Jesus Was A Child Like Me

Once Jesus was a child like me,

But O, so kind and true;

His ever watchful eye can see

The very things I do.

Refrain

Yes, Jesus was a child like me,

But O, so pure and true;

My blessèd Savior He will be,

If I but love Him, too.

He played upon the village street,

In such a pleasant way;

And ran with glad and willing feet,

His parents to obey.

Refrain

I want to be His little child,

And more like Him to grow;

And ever truthful, good and mild,

Because He loves me so.

Refrain

And now to Jesus I will pray,

To pardon me from sin;

And if I serve Him every day,

His blessing I shall win.
