We're
living in a war -red world,
a world that's full of fears
But there's one hope for peace eternal,
a hope that is very near
Little children are the hope of the world
So guard them day and night
Be sure you teach them right
You can teach them
by the things you do and say
The way you live today,
the way you pray.
Suffer the little children
to come unto me.
For such is the kingdom of heaven.
God made it plain to see
Little children are the hope of the world
So help us teach them,
to walk with Thee
Dear Lord, give us courage
Give us the courage
to keep fighting against odds
that are discouraging.
Fighting for a world of peace
and contentment.
Dear Lord, give us faith.
For only by faith do we know
that all things are possible through Thee.
And above all, dear Lord,
give us wisdom.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children
to avoid the pitfalls into
which the world has fallen.
For the destiny of the world tomorrow
will be shaped by today's little children.
Suffer the little children
to come unto me.
Such is the kingdom of heaven,
God made it plain to see.
Little children are the
hope of the world
So help us teach them,
to walk with Thee
