Representative Text

1 Jesus Christ your Saviour is,
Let Him take your hand in His;
He will kindly lead you on,
Till your life on earth is done.

Chorus:
Jesus loves you, love Him too,
Love Him, love Him, love Him too.

2 So because He first loved you,
Will you try to love Him too?
Will you kneel to Him and pray,
For His blessing ev'ry day? [Chorus]

3 Will you daily, as you need,
In your Holy Bible read?
And in all things try to do
What your Saviour teaches you? [Chorus]

4 Oh, you will be happy then,
Happier than the richest men;
And, when life with you is past,
You shall rest in Heav'n at last. [Chorus]
