There's not a child so small and weak

But has his little cross to take,

His little work of love and praise

That he may do for Jesus' sake.

CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER, We are but Little Children Weak

Christian children all must be

Mild, obedient, good as He.

CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER, Once in Royal David's City

For He is our childhood's pattern,

Day by day like us He grew,

He was little, weak, and helpless,

Tears and smiles like us He knew.

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.
