133. I Want to Go to Jesus

1 I want to go to Jesus,
Who for the children plead;
And feel those hands of blessing
Rest softly on my head.

Refrain:
I want to go to Jesus!
I want to go to Jesus!
I want to go to Jesus,
For he loves me so!

2 I want to go to Jesus,
Oh, turn me not away;
“Of such shall be my kingdom,”
His Holy Word doth say. [Refrain]

3 I want to go to Jesus;
Tho’ just a child I am;
I know the loving Savior
Will never pass me by. [Refrain]
