Lyrics

Let me learn of Je­sus,
He is kind to me;
Once He died to save me,
Nailed up­on the tree.

If I go to Je­sus,
He will hear me pray,
Make me good and ho­ly,
Take my sins away.

Let me think of Je­sus;
He is full of love,
Looking down up­on me
From His throne ab­ove.

If I trust in Je­sus,
If I do His will,
Then I shall be hap­py,
Safe from ev­ery ill.

Oh how good is Je­sus!
May He hold my hand,
And at last re­ceive me
To a bet­ter land.
