69. Jesus Hears and Answers

1 Jesus, Saviour, hear my cry!
Do not leave nor pass me by.
Tarry for a moment here,—
Bend to me Thy list’ning ear.

Refrain:
Lead, oh, lead me all the way,
Precious Jesus, lest I stray;
Be my Saviour and my guide,
Let me in Thy love abide.

2 Just one word, and I’ll be free,
Just one touch, and I can see;
Lord of mercy, hear me now,
At Thy feet I humbly bow. [Refrain]

3 Lord, I now Thy promise claim,
Save, oh, save in Jesus’ name;
Yielding all, I cling to Thee,
Yea, and Thou dost hold to me. [Refrain]

4 Oh, I hear Thy welcome voice,
And my soul doth now rejoice;
Draw me closer Lord, to Thee,
For Thy blood atones for me. [Refrain]
