# 543 Jesus, Friend of Little Children
1. Jesus, Friend of little children, Be a Friend to me, Take my hand and ever keep me Close to Thee.
2. Teach me how to grow in goodness Daily as I grow; Thou hast been a child, and surely Thou dost know.
3. Step by step, O, lead me onward, Upward into youth; Wiser, stronger, still be coming In Thy truth.
4. Never leave me, nor forsake me, Ever be my Friend; For I need Thee from life’s dawning To its end.
