559a. If I come to Jesus

1 If I come to Jesus,
He will make me glad;
He will give me pleasure
when my heart is sad.

Refrain:
If I come to Jesus,
happy shall I be;
He is gently calling
little ones like me.

2 If I come to Jesus
He will hear my prayer;
He will love me dearly,
He my sins did bear. [Refrain]

3 If I come to Jesus,
He will take my hand,
He will kindly lead me
to a better land. [Refrain]
