The les­sons are of Je­sus,
And what He taught be­low;
His words for us are writ­ten,
That we His will may know.
He loved the lit­tle child­ren,
And took them in His arms,
And those who love and trust Him,
Are safe from all alarms.

He shows the path of du­ty,
And bids us all be true;
His words of heav’n­ly wis­dom
Are ev­er fresh and new.
He calls us to be faith­ful,
Unselfish, brave, and kind,
And dai­ly in His ser­vice
Our high­est joy to find.

The teach­ings of our mas­ter,
Our list­en­ing ears have heard;
He pro­mis­es to bless us—
We take Him at His word.
We long to know Him bet­ter,
To follow clos­er still,
To love and learn of Je­sus,
And do His ho­ly will.
