Lyrics

Haste away, O haste away,
Come and learn of Je­sus;
Bright with joy our home today,
Come and learn of Je­sus.

Refrain

Hear the voice that speaks to all,
Now His words like music fall;
In His heart there’s room for all,
Come and learn of Je­sus.

He is just the friend we need,
None can save but Je­sus;
Come and learn His name to plead,
None can save but Je­sus.

Refrain

Once He laid His crown aside,
O the love of Je­sus!
On the cross for us He died,
O the love of Je­sus!

Refrain

Come and join us while we sing,
Glory be to Je­sus;
Let the joyful chorus ring,
Glory be to Je­sus!
