Jesus Loves the Little Babies

Modifying the 19th-century hymn, “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” this “fearfully and wonderfully” illustrated children’s book (Ps. 139:14) brings both parents and their children near to God’s heart for all children, including preborn babies in the womb. Praying for God to abolish the present-day Abortion Holocaust, Jesus Loves the Little Babies is a God-centered celebration of the Creator’s work of fashioning human life within the womb. It thus heralds the Gospel of the Son of God’s incarnation in Mary’s womb (as Elizabeth says to Mary in Luke 1:44: “For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!”) in a way that little eyes and little ears can understand. Soli Deo Gloria. Glory to God alone.
