The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#201

201. Touch Me, Lord Jesus

1 Touch me, Lord Jesus,
With Thy hand of mercy,
Make each throbbing heartbeat
Feel Thy pow'r 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 hissop;
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,
Thru this vale of sorrow,
I am safe forever,
Trusting in Thy love.
Bear me thru the current;
O'er the chilly Jordan,
Lead me, dear Master
To my home above.
