9765. Come, Jesus, And Bless Me

1 Come, Jesus, and bless me, Thy dear little child,
Thou art, O my Savior, meek, tender and mild.
Thou camest from Heaven, from out Thy white throne,
And gavest Thy lifeblood to make me Thine own.

2 Thou sendest Thy Spirit to call, by Thy Word,
Me from sinful pleasures to be Thine, O Lord.
Then, O my dear Jesus, how grateful to Thee,
How willing for service and praise I should be!

3 Yes, Jesus, I’ll serve Thee, I’ll sing to Thy praise;
I’ll be Thy dear child here throughout all my days.
Then do Thou still bless me with grace from on high,
And take me at last to my home in the sky.
