123. My Prayer

1 Jesus, draw me to thy side,
Let me feel thy guiding hand;
Still may I in thee abide,
Faultless in thy presence stand.

Refrain:
Let no act, or word, or thought,
Ever grieve thy heart divine;
By thy precious blood I’m bought,
I am thine, yes, only thine.

2 All that grieves thy loving heart,
In the strength of thy great might
Help me from it now to part;
Keep me walking in the light. [Refrain]

3 Thine to walk as saints above,
Here on earth for thee to shine;
Draw me with thy cords of love
To that tender heart of thine. [Refrain]

4 Help me now in sacred mirth,
Thee to bless as those above;
That my life, e’en here on hearth,
May be one of perfect love. [Refrain]
