16341. Lead Me To Jesus

1 Lead me to Jesus, lead me to Jesus;
Help me to love Him, help me to pray;
He is my Savior, I would believe Him;
I would be like Him— show me the way.

Refrain:
Quickly haste, and come where happy children meet;
Hither come and rest thy little weary feet;
Turn from thy pleasures, turn from thy play;
Come to our Sunday school away.

2 Lead me to Jesus, He will protect me;
He is so loving, gentle and mild;
Calling the children, bidding them welcome;
Surely He calls me—I am a child. [Refrain]

3 Lord, I am coming! Jesus, my Savior,
Pity my weakness, make me Thy child;
I would receive Thee, trust and believe Thee;
I would be like Thee, gentle and mild. [Refrain]
