Lyrics

I am learn­ing of my Sav­ior,
Precious les­sons ev­ery hour;
How the soul, which He has ran­somed,
May be kept by migh­ty pow­er.

Refrain

I am learn­ing, I am learn­ing,
Precious truth in Je­sus’ word;
I am learn­ing, I am learn­ing,
Of the love­ly Lamb of God.

Learning more and more to love Him,
Yielding all in­to His will;
While a joy be­yond all ut­ter­ance,
Thro’ and thro’ my soul doth thrill.

Refrain

I am learn­ing how to serve Him
With my hands, my heart, my feet;
And each day my Mas­ter’s ser­vice
To my soul be­comes more sweet.

Refrain

I am learn­ing how to trust Him
With my life and for all things;
And my soul, filled with His glo­ry,
In ex­ceed­ing glad­ness sings.
