1.

I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ,
Learning to give and be sacrificed.
On Zion’s mountain to school I go.
Just the right type can attend, you know.

Chorus:

Learn, learn, learn of God’s Son,
And like God’s Lamb become.
You’ll pass each test along the way;
You will triumph each day.

2.

All that we learn on the mountain there
Goes right against what we learn down here.
There we learn humbling ourselves is right—
Never for power or name to fight.

3.

Every apprentice takes earnest heed—
From start to finish obeys with speed—
Till, like the Master, he’s fully trained,
And he has all of God’s goodness gained.

4.

Every disciple who longs and yearns,
If he is meek, he this art then learns:
How to o’ercome as our Master great,
How on life’s ocean to navigate.

5.

Learn to think right; get things rightly done.
Speak what God gives you to help each one.
Words given those who in trials endure
Hit the nail right on the head, for sure.

6.

We’ll reach our goal; we’ll be fully trained,
If in the teaching we firm remain
And steadfast stand, doing all we know,
For on Mount Zion to school we go.
