Jesus Once Was a Little Child : Tablature – Vocal – Chords

Posted by on May 14th 2018 @ 2:23 am

This lovely little children’s primary song pulled at my heartstrings when I was 5 and still does today. You can listen to a piano version of the tune on LDS.org’s music site. Enjoy!

Lyrics
1. — Jesus once was a little child,
A little child like me;
And he was pure and meek and mild,
As a little child should be.
So, little children,
Let’s you and I
Try to be like him,
Try, try, try.

2. He played as little children play
The pleasant games of youth;
But he never got vexed if the game went wrong,
And he always spoke the truth.
So, little children,
Let’s you and I
Try to be like him,
Try, try, try.

Words: James R. Murray, 1841–1905
Music: Joseph Ballantyne, 1868–1944

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
