African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#334

334. Touch Me, Lord Jesus

1 Touch me, Lord Jesus,
With Thy hand of mercy;
Make each throbbing heartbeat
Feel Thy power divine.
Take my will forever;
I will doubt Thee never;
Cleanse me, dear Savior,
Make me wholly Thine.

2 Mold me, dear Master;
As I bow before Thee,
Prostrate and helpless,
Make my heart Thy throne.
Purge my dross with hyssop;
Burn me with Thy fire;
Lord, make and use me;
Ever all Thine own.

3 Feed me, dear Jesus,
From Thy holy table;
Rain bread from heaven,
Let my cup o'erflow.
Naked, sick and hungry;
Poor and weak and lonely,
Feed me, Lord Jesus,
Till I want no more.

4 Guide me, Jehovah,
Through this vale of sorrow;
I am safe for ever,
Trusting in Thy love.
Bear me through the current,
O'er the chilly Jordan;
Lead me, dear Master,
To my home above.

Amen.
