146. 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 to be
Growing up for Jesus in the J. C. E.

Chorus:
Growing up for Jesus, till in him complete,
Growing up for Jesus, oh, his work is sweet:
In his truth our treasure, in his love to be
Growing up for Jesus in the J. C. E.

2 Not too young to love him, youthful hearts beat true,
Not too young to serve him as the dew-drops do,
Not too young to praise him, singing as we come,
Not too young to answer when he calls us home. [Chorus]

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 haypy youth. [Chorus]
