Let Youth Praise Him ‎#66

66. In the Temple

1 In the temple, in the temple,
Stood a little boy one day,
And the doctors wonder'd greatly
At the words they heard Him say.

Chorus:
It was Jesus! It was Jesus!
He was but a little child,
But the light of heav’n was shining
In His face so pure and mild.

2 With the teachers there they found Him,
Tho’ a lowly, learning youth,
But His answers as He told them
Were complete with Bible truth. [Chorus]

3 Let us ever then be eager
To sit down at Jesus' feet,
To be learning from our Savior,
And His lessons to repeat. [Chorus]
