Where is Jesus, little children ?
Is He up in heaven ?
Has God taken back the present
Which of old was given?
Where is Jesus, little children ?
Is He in a book ?
Has He ceased to talk to people,
And on them to look?
Where is Jesus, little children ?
With us evermore,
He is here, and we may find Him
Shut within this door.
Jesus is a lovely Spirit,
Lowly, pure, and kind ;
Feeling in the hearts of people,
Thinking in their mind.
Self-forgetting, gentle mercy,
Love that will not die,
These reveal the heart of Jesus,
Tell us He is nigh.
Shut within the souls of children,
Jesus makes His home ;
Where the heart has heard Him knocking.
And has bid Him come.
Jesus, make in us Thy dwelling,
Come with us to live,
And to each and all our doings
Thy dear beauty give.
