Original text and translations
English text <poem> Jesus, Friend of little children,
- Be a friend to me;
Take my hand, and ever keep me
- Close to Thee.
Teach me how to grow in goodness,
- Daily as I grow;
Thou hast been a child, and surely
- Thou dost know.
Step by step O lead me onward,
- Upward into youth;
Wiser, stronger, still becoming
- In Thy truth.
Never leave me, nor forsake me;
- Ever be my friend;
For I need Thee, from life’s dawning
- To its end.
- Walter John Mathams (1853-1931)
- To its end.
