Hymn for Children

CLEAVE to the words of Jesus
Whatever be your lot;
The beauty of His teaching
Should never be forgot;
'Twould ease the heaviest burden,
And lull the strongest pain,
The hope of one day hearing
That same sweet voice again.

Cleave to the words of Jesus;
He says, "Be not afraid;
Your Heavenly Father knoweth
The needs of all He made;
Let not your heart be troubled
While ye believe in me,
For where my Father dwelleth
There shall my children be."

We'll hold the words of Jesus
Until He comes again,
Tho' the mad world is weary
Of utterance so plain;
And while the words of others
Lead many souls astray,
Be ours to take the Bible
And tread the narrow way.
