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.
