I Love to Think That Jesus Saw

Author: Ada Skemp, 1857-1927 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I love to think that Jesus saw The same bright sun that shines today; It gave Him light to do His work, And smiled upon His play. 2. The same white moon with silver face That sails across the sky at night, He used to see in Galilee, And watch it with delight. 3. The same great God that hears my prayers Heard His, when Jesus knelt to pray; He is my Father, who will keep His child through every day. Used With Tune: CHILDHOOD
