We’ll give our hearts to Jesus
And learn His name to praise
The blessèd Bible tells us
How pleasant are His ways.
We’ll give our hearts to Jesus
In sunny childhood’s hours
Where life is like the springtime
And full of buds and flowers.
And when we safely anchor
On Canaan’s happy shore
To Him be all the glory
And praise forever more.
We’ll give our hearts to Jesus
Our best and dearest friend
He like a gentle shepherd
Will guide us to the end.
In green and fragrant pastures
His little flock will lead
Beside the quiet waters
Supplying all we need.
We’ll give our hearts to Jesus
Who died that we might live
Our hearts
though weak and sinful
Are all we have to give.
The simple prayer of childhood
Our God will ne’er despise
A lowly contrite spirit
Is precious in His eyes.
