Words: A. R. Carey (?), in The Revival No. 3 (Atlanta, Georgia: Charlie Tillman, 1899), number 1.
Music: .
Get acquainted with Jesus, my friend,
He is seeking a place in your heart;
Let Him come all its wand’rings to end,
And to bid pride and error depart.
Refrain
Call Him in and know Him,
This Friend who is waiting today;
Call Him in and know Him,
Get acquainted with Jesus, I pray.
Get acquainted with Jesus, I pray,
’Tis a banquet His smile to behold;
Those who trust Him, He’ll never betray,
And His love is far better than gold.
Refrain
Get acquainted with Jesus, I pray,
Do not wait till distress brings you low,
Lest a stranger you find Him in need,
And your soul know not whither to go.
