1. I love my precious Savior,
Because He died for me;
And if I did not serve Him,
How sinful I should be!
I know He makes me happy,
And hears me when I pray;
I’ll keep fast hold on Jesus,
The Bible says I may.
2. Dear Savior, make me holy;
Let me be gentle, mild,
Obedient, loving, lowly,
A truly Christ-like child.
Yea! still though Satan tempt me,
And make me sad, I’ll say,
I long to be like Jesus;
The Bible says I may.
3. Though I can do but little,
Yet I will always try
To tell some little children
How Jesus came to die.
God help me to be useful
In all I do or say!
I mean to work for Jesus,
The Bible says I may.
4. And while I’m loving Jesus,
I feel so glad to know,
That making others happy
Will make me happy, too.
When others hear me singing,
I’ll not forget to say,
You too can be as happy,
The Bible says you may.
5. And since I’ve found my Savior,
The first link in the chain,
I’ll trust in Him forever,
Till Heav’n at last I gain.
I love that blessèd country,
Where tears are wiped away;
I want to live with Jesus,
The Bible says I may.
