54. My Whole Dear Class For Jesus

1 My whole dear class for Jesus,
The blessed Son of God,
Who purchased their salvation
By shedding his own blood.
If one be lost, dear Saviour,
If one finds not thy favor,
If one remains unsaved,
I have not what I craved.

Chorus:
My whole dear class for Jesus,
For Jesus, for Jesus,
My whole dear class for Jesus,
Who bought them with his blood.

2 My whole dear class for Jesus,
Who died to pay the cost
Of purchasing salvation,
For all the guilty lost.
Now while they still are tender,
Incline them, Lord, to render,
Their willing hearts to thee,
To be from sin made free. [Chorus]

3 My whole dear class for Jesus,
May not one soul be lost!
May all be crowned in Heaven
When Jordan's stream is crossed.
In yonder regions vernal,
Where life is made eternal,
May they with Jesus reign
Never to sin again. [Chorus]

4 My whole dear class for Jesus,
Their souls are dear to me;
I long, O precious Saviour,
To bring them unto thee.
The world doth now enslave them;
Their sins do now deprave them;
Come ere it be too late,
And open mercy's gate. [Chorus]
