Acquaint Thyself with Jesus

lyricist: Jonathan Atchinson (1840–1882)
Composer: George Stebbins, 1894

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

The sin­ner’s tru­est friend;

A pri­vi­lege most bless­èd

To all He doth ex­tend.

His love for men sur­pass­es

The warm­est earth­ly love;

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

And His true friend­ship prove.

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

No one like Him could lead;

No other friend can help you

In ev­ery time of need.

No oth­er feels so deep­ly

For all thy care and grief;

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

And He will give re­lief.

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

And like Him thou shalt be;

Transformed into His im­age

For all eter­ni­ty.

Accept His of­fered mer­cy

Come now

His pro­mise claim;

Acquaint thy­self with Je­sus

And spread abroad His fame.
