Beautiful Witness

Composer: Howard Doane

Jimmie

said his kind pro­tect­or

Long his faith­ful friend and guide

Jimmie

do you love the Sav­ior?

Yes

the hap­py child re­plied.

Can you tell how much you love Him?

All my heart to Him I give;

Love my Sav­ior? Yes

for­ev­er

I will try for Him to live.

Beautiful wit­ness for God is he

The tears of the or­phan are wiped away

I love Je­sus

and Je­sus loves me;

And that is all I’ve got to say.

’Twas the Ho­ly Spir­it led him

In the plea­sant way of truth

And he sought and found the Sav­ior

In the ear­ly days of youth.

Should he live till years have sprin­kled

O’er his brow the frost of age

Sweet to him the words of com­fort

From the Bi­ble’s sac­red page.

Children

we may love the Sav­ior;

If we seek Him

we shall find;

Are we rea­dy now to serve Him

With our heart

our strength

and mind?

Think of all His ten­der mer­cies

All the won­ders He has done.

Little Jim­mie’s bright ex­am­ple

Let us fol­low

ev­ery one.
