There's a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes,
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.
There's a rest for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessed Saviour,
And "Abba, Father" cry—
A rest from ev'ry trouble,
From sin and danger free,
Where ev'ry little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
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,
Or can with it compare;
For ev'ry one is happy,
Nor could be happier, there.
There's a crown for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
And all who look to Jesus
Shall wear it by and by—
A crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On all who love the Saviour,
And walk with Him be low.
