Jesus Hears Me

Representative Text

1 Jesus hears me when I pray,
He will never turn away;
He will listen to my call,
For He loves the children all.

Refrain:
Jesus will hear me,
Jesus will keep me,
Jesus will lead me,
If I will follow Him.

2 He will keep me everywhere,
I am safe within His care;
Satan’s pow’r I need not fear,
While my Savior is so near. [Refrain]

3 He will lead me with His hand
To that bright and better land,
Where the white-robed children sing
Sweetest praise to heaven’s King. [Refrain]
