1 Blessed Jesus, God the Word,
Sinner’s Saviour, Friend and Lord,
With my sinful heart distressed,
Lo, I come to Thee for rest.

Refrain:
Lend, O Lord, a list’ning ear,
Drive away my doubt and fear;
At Thy feet I lay my plea:
Thou, O Christ, didst die for me.

2 Take away my guilt and shame,
On my heart inscribe Thy name;
Like Thy nature make my own,
Let Thy blood for me atone. [Refrain]

3 Make me feel Thee ever nigh,
Draw my heart to Thee on high;
Be Thou my supreme delight,
Help me walk as in Thy sight. [Refrain]

4 By Thy Spirit let me be
Sanctified, to dwell with Thee;
Then, with all the hosts above,
Will I praise redeeming love. [Refrain]
