I Am Jesus’ Little Friend

I am Je­sus’ lit­tle friend;

On His mer­cy I de­pend;

If I try to please Him ev­er

If I grieve His Spir­it nev­er

O how ve­ry good to me

Will my Sav­ior al­ways be!

I am Je­sus’ lit­tle friend;

On His mercy I de­pend.

Very young and weak am I

Yet He guides me with His eye;

In a plea­sant path He leads me

With a gen­tle hand He feeds me

Chides me when I’m do­ing wrong

Listens to my hap­py song.

He is with me all the day

With me in my bu­sy play;

O’er my wak­ing and my sleep­ing

Jesus still a watch is keep­ing;

I can lay me down and rest

Sweetly pil­lowed on His breast.

I am Je­sus’ lit­tle friend;

On His mercy I de­pend;

Jesus will for­sake me nev­er;

He will keep me safe for­ev­er;

How I wish my heart could be

Loving Sav­ior

more like Thee!
