The Jewel ‎#10

10. Gentle Jesus

1 Gentle Jesus, Saviour mild,
Hear thy lowly, suppliant child;
Nothing bring I to thy feet,
Nought for thine acceptance meet;
But a soul by sin distressed:--
Gentle Jesus, give it rest.

2 In this dreary vale below
Thou hast trod a path of woe,--
Thou hast known the dreadful power
Of the tempter’s evil hour,--
Felt the time of gloom and fear,--
Shed, like us, the bitter tear.

3 Now I bend before thy throne,
All my guilt and folly own;
Yet with earnest heart I plead
Comfort, pardon in my need:
This my plea, and naught beside:--
Gentle Jesus, thou hast died.
