John Stainer - There's a friend for little children - текст песни (слова)

1.
 
 
 There's a Friend for little children
 Above the bright blue sky,
 A Friend who never changes,
 Whose love will never die;
 Our earthly friends may fail us,
 And change with changing years,
 This Friend is always worthy
 Of that dear Name He bears.
 
  2.
 
 
 There's a rest for little children
 Above the bright blue sky,
 Who love the blessèd Savior,
 And to the Father cry
 A rest from every turmoil,
 From sin and sorrow free,
 Where every little pilgrim
 Shall rest eternally.
 
  3.
 
 
 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.
 
  4.
 
 
 There's a crown for little children
 Above the bright blue sky,
 And all who look for Jesus
 Shall wear it by and by;
 A crown of brightest glory,
 Which He will then bestow
 On those who found his favor
 And loved His Name below.
 
  5.
 
 
 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 Savior,
 But worship Him as King.
 
  6.
 
 
 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:
 O come, dear little children
 That all may be your own.
