17. If I Come to Jesus

1 If I come to Jesus,
He will make me glad;
He will give me pleasure,
When my heart is sad.
If I come to Jesus,
Happy I shall be,
He is gently calling
Little ones like me.

2 If I come to Jesus,
He will hear my pray'r,
He will love me dearly,
He my sins did bear.
If I come to Jesus,
Happy I shall be,
He is gently calling
Little ones like me.

3 If I come to Jesus,
He will take my hand,
He will kindly lead me
To a better land.
If I come to Jesus,
Happy I shall be,
He is gently calling
Little ones like me.

4 There with happy children,
Robed in snowy white,
I shall see my Savior
In that world so bright.
If I come to Jesus,
Happy I shall be,
He is gently calling
Little ones like me.
