Wondrous Love ‎#33

33. The Present Savior

1 Jesus, Savior, I am helpless,
But my faith looks up to thee,
Humbly trusting in thy mercy,
Thy dear name is all my plea.

Refrain:
In thy loving favor
May my soul abide,
Let thy goodness ever,
Keep me near thy side.

2 Jesus, Savior, in thy mercy,
Hold me, lest my feet should stray,
Guide me by thy holy counsel,
In the straight and narrow way. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Sov’reign, Mighty Ruler,
Take possession of my heart,
Rule till in thy better kingdom,
I from thee shall never part. [Refrain]
