Return to Eight-Bell Hymns (General)

Jesus Loves the Little Children (CHILDREN) – Eight handbells

Many of you remember singing Jesus Loves the Little Children from a while back. Maybe that was in Sunday School, or children’s church, or even a baptismal service.

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world,
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

And in case you want somewhat more inclusive lyrics, there are alternatives that others have created:

Every color, every race, all are covered by His grace.

or

Stranger, friend, and neighbour too, He loves them as He loves you.

(But it sounds the same in handbells, no matter which version you prefer!)
