E144. Jesus, Lord and Precious Saviour

1 Jesus, Lord and precious Saviour,
All my comfort and my joy!
Graciously extend thy favor,
Let Thy Word my soul employ.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

2 What I do, oh, let me ever
Jesus, in Thy Name begin;
Give success to my endeavor,
Final victory therein;
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

3 Let my words and thoughts, O Saviour,
To Thy praise and glory tend;
Help me, Lord, that I may gather
Treasures that shall never end.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

4 When my days on earth are over,
Let me gladly take my rest;
May the time come, blessed Saviour,
When to Thee it seemeth best.
Jesus, come, abide with me.
Let me ever be with Thee.
