Verse 1

THERE’S a friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changeth, Whose love will never die: Unlike our friends by nature, Who change with changing years; This Friend is always worthy The precious name he bears.

Verse 2

There’s a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy: No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; For everyone is happy, Nor could be happier, there.

Verse 3

There’s a song for little children Above the bright blue sky, A song that will not weary, Though sung continually: A song which even angels Can never, never sing; They know not Christ as Saviour, But worship him as King.

Verse 4

There’s a robe for little children Above the bright blue sky; And a harp of sweetest music, And palms of victory. All, all above is treasured, And found in Christ alone: Lord, grant thy little children To know thee as their own.
