Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#71

71. Lord Jesus Christ

1 Lord Jesus Christ,
My Savior blest,
My refuge and salvation,
I trust in Thee,
Abide in me,
Thy word shall be
My hope and consolation.

2 I will confide,
Whate'er betide,
In Thy compassion tender.
When grief and stress
My heart oppress,
Thou wilt redress
And constant help me render.

3 When I must weep
In sorrow deep,
Thy loving care enfolds me.
I have no fear
When Thou art near,
My Savior dear;
Thy saving hand upholds me.

4 Lord, I will be
Alway with Thee,
Wherever Thou wilt have me.
Do Thou control
My heart and soul
And make me whole,
Thy grace alone can save me.

5 Yea, help us, Lord,
With one accord
To love and serve Thee solely.
That henceforth we
May dwell with Thee
In jubilee
And see Thy presence holy.
