Text:	Learn of Him
Author:	John Franklin
Tune:	[Come and sit at Jesus’ feet]
Composer:	Jno. R. Sweney

1 Come and sit at Jesus’ feet,
Come and learn of him;
Words of comfort, pure and sweet,
Come and learn of him.

Refrain:
Learn of him, O toil-oppressed;
Lean thy head upon his breast;
He will give thee perfect rest,—
Come and learn of him

2 Take his yoke upon thee now,
Come and learn of him;
Ask, and he will teach thee how,
Come and learn of him. [Refrain]

3 How to trust for ev’ry day,
Come and learn of him;
How to watch, as well as pray,
Come and learn of him. [Refrain]

4 For his glory wouldst thou live?
Come and learn of him;
He the grace will freely give,
Come and learn of him. [Refrain]
