161. Even the Waifs of the Street

1 Jesus loves children, the bible says so;
He will be with them where ever they go,
Shield them from harm thro’ the darkness of night,
Guide them and help them all day to do right.

Refrain:
Shout the glad news to each one you meet;
Jesus loves even the waifs of the street!

2 “Suffer the children, to come unto me,”
These words He spoke beside blue Galilee;
Not the rich only His sweet message greets,
Jesus loves even the waifs of the street. [Refrain]

3 Ragged, and tattered, and hungry, the waif
May to the Savior repair and be safe;
He once was hungry and friendless, and poor,
That’s why He pities the waifs at the door. [Refrain]
