Mum />She's a: />Sadness Stealer />Cut-knee healer />Hug-me-tighter />Wrongness righter />Gold star carer />Chocolate sharer (well, sometimes!) />Hamster feeder />Bedtime reader />Great game player />Night fear slayer />Treat dispenser />Naughty sensor (how come she always knows?) />She's my />Never glum, />Constant chum />Second to none />We're under her thumb! />Mum! | |
There's A Friend For Little Children | There's A Friend For Little Children |
The words to the hymn were read to the congregation />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. | |
There's a rest for little children />Above the bright blue sky, />Who love the blessed Saviour, />And to the Father cry />A rest from every turmoil, />From sin and sorrow free, />Where every 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, />Nor can with it compare; />For everyone is happy />Nor could be happier there. | |
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 favour />And loved His Name below. | |
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 Saviour, />But worship Him as King. | |
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. | |
