Lyrics

To learn of Je­sus Christ, our Lord,
We need to read His ho­ly Word;
The pre­cious les­sons we must heed,
And ask of Him the grace we need.

Refrain

O ho­ly teach­er, friend and guide,
With us for ev­er­more ab­ide;
May we be taught from Heav’n ab­ove
The won­drous les­sons of Thy love.

We learn of Je­sus’ won­drous birth,
His sin­less life while here on earth,
We hear His in­vi­ta­tion free,
Come, take My yoke, and learn of Me.

Refrain

The Book di­vine, oh, may we prize,
Where all this heav’n­ly wis­dom lies;
These les­sons may we learn by heart,
And ear­ly choose the bet­ter part.
