Lyrics

When you my Je­sus un­der­stand,
When you ac­cept His lov­ing hand,
A hap­py morn will dawn for you,
When you know Je­sus, too.

Refrain

When you know Him, when you know Him,
You’ll love Him just as oth­ers do;
A hap­py morn will dawn for you
When you know my Je­sus, too.

His joy will glad­den every day,
His bless­ing shine along the way,
And you will share His pro­mise true,
When you know Je­sus, too.

Refrain

You’ll see His mer­cy thro’ your tears,
His peace will hal­low all the years;
The val­ley holds no dread for you,
When you know Je­sus, too.

Refrain

You’ll know His way is al­ways best,
And glad­ly leave to Him the rest,
And tell what He has done for you,
When you know Je­sus, too.
