“I Love to Learn of Jesus Christ,” Friend, Jan. 1999, 10–11 I Love to Learn of Jesus Christ Words by John V. Pearson Music by Janice Kapp Perry 1. I love to learn of Jesus Christ. I love the gospel story— How God sent down His firstborn Son To teach us of His glory. My parents teach me how to pray To Heav’nly Father daily. They teach me of Christ’s suffering And how He came to save me. 2. My Savior is my constant guide, Though I may seem to wander. He teaches me to love the truth And lifts my eyes beyond here. And when I walk down lonely roads, He does not leave me friendless. He gave His very life for me; His love for me is endless. 3. When Jesus rises o’er the hills His many thousands bringing, I, too, would join the angel throng And lift my voice in singing. So when I leave this life behind, I will not, will not sorrow, For I shall meet at Jesus’ knee With loved ones on the morrow. Copyright © 1998 by John V. Pearson and Janice Kapp Perry.
