Up to heaven for His dear sake. 1860 poem by Anna Bartlett Warner, set to music in 1862 with added chorus by William Batchelder Bradbury. This is the original version; rewritten versions are common. Jesus Loves the Little Children Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, They are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world. Words written by preacher Clarence Herbert Woolston (1856–1927) Sung to the 1864 Civil War tune "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!" by George Fredrick Root 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 versions change Woolston's original words slightly by inserting the color "brown" between "red" and "yellow." Some modern versions read 'Ev'ry colour, ev'ry race, all are cover'd by His grace' instead of 'Red and yellow, black, and white, all are precious in His sight.' Alternate lyrics: Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world. Fat and skinny, short and tall, Jesus loves them one and all, OR Jesus died for all the children, All the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, All are precious in His sight, Jesus died for all the children of the world. Praise Him, Praise Him Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children, God is love, God is love; Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children, God is love, God is love. Three verses following this replace "praise" with "love," "thank," and "serve." All Things Bright and Beautiful The chorus of All Things Bright and Beautiful has been recommended for children ages five and younger. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.
