1 I’m but a little child, I know,
And little I can do;
But I can sing the Saviour’s love,
Who died for me and you.

Refrain:
A little child, a little child,
I’m but a little child, I know;
But I will give my heart to Him,
Because He loves me so.

2 I’m but a little child, I know,
And little I can say;
But I can praise Him in the songs
I sing from day to day. [Refrain]

3 I’m but a little child, I know,
But little feet can stray;
And so I need a Saviour’s hand
To guide me on the way. [Refrain]

4 He too was once a little child,
As such to earth He came;
Though seated high in glory now,
He loves me just the same. [Refrain]
