61. Fold Me To Thy Breast

1 Jesus, Friend of sinners,
Save me, I implore;
Grant thy peace and pardon,
Bid me sin no more.

Refrain:
Jesus, Friend of sinners,
Give the weary rest;
While the storms are rolling,
Fold me on thy breast.

2 Jesus, tender Shepherd,
By still waters, lead;
Shield me from all dangers,
In green pastures feed. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, great Physician,
Bind my broken heart;
Touch my soul with healing,
Needed strength impart. [Refrain]

4 Jesus, Prince and Saviour,
Everlasting King!
Life, and love, and service,
To thy feet I bring. [Refrain]
