Text: | Jesus, my Saviour, look on me |
Author: | Charlotte Elliott |
Tune: | HANFORD |
Composer: | Arthur S. Sullivan |
1 Jesus, my Saviour! look on me,
For I am weary and opprest;
I come to cast myself on Thee:
Thou art my Rest.
2 Look down on me, for I am weak,
I feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid Omnipotent I seek:
Thou art my Strength.
3 I am bewildered on my way,
Dark and tempestuous is the night;
O send thou forth some cheering ray!
Thou art my Light.
4 When Satan flings his fiery darts,
I look to Thee; my terrors cease;
Thy cross a hiding-place imparts:
Thou art my Peace.
5 Standing alone on Jordan's brink,
In that tremendous, latest strife,
Thou wilt not suffer me to sink:
Thou art my Life.
6 Thou wilt my every want supply
E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
Through life, in death eternally,
Thou art my All.
