164. Growing Up for Jesus

1 Growing up for Jesus,
We are truly blest.
In his smile is welcome;
In his arms our rest.
In his truth our treasure;
In his love our rule.
Growing up for Jesus,
In our Sunday-school.

Refrain:
Growing up for Jesus,
Till in him complete;
Growing up for Jesus.
Oh, his work is sweet,
Growing up for Jesus,
Till in him complete;
Growing up for Jesus.
Oh, his work is sweet.

2 Not too young to love him,
Little hearts beat true.
Not too young to serve him
As the dewdrops do.
Not too young to praise him,
Singing as we come;
Not too young to answer
When he calls us home. [Refrain]

3 Growing up for Jesus;
Learning day by day
How to follow onward
In the narrow way.
Seeking holy treasure,
Finding precious truth;
Growing up for Jesus
In our happy youth. [Refrain]
