Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in his sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
- Words written by preacher Clare Herbert Woolston (1856-1927)
- Inspired by Matthew 19:14: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
- Some have sought to improve on Woolston's original words by inserting the color "brown" between "red" and "yellow."
- Some more politically correct modern versions read 'Every color, every race, all are covered by His grace' instead of 'Red and yellow, black, and white, all are precious in His sight.'
