170. Hymn to Jesus.

1 Father in heaven, we thank Thee for Jesus,
Whom Thou didst send to the earth long ago,
That He might teach us the way to Thy kingdom,
And that Thy wonderful love we may know.

Refrain:
Father, we thank Thee for Jesus, Thy blessed Son.
Where He may lead us we'll follow till heav'n is won.

2 Jesus, our Savior, we thank Thee for saying,
"Suffer the children to come unto Me."
Gladly we'll follow wherever Thou leadest,
That we may live in glory with Thee. [Refrain]
