1. Raise me, Jesus, to Thy bosom, From this world of sin and woes; Let me feel Thine arms around me, Then my soul may know repose. I am weary with my burden, And I come to Thee for rest; Kneeling at Thy feet, I pray Thee, Lift me, Jesus, to Thy breast. Refrain Raise me, Jesus, to Thy bosom, From this world of sin and woes; Let me feel Thine arms around me, Then my soul may know repose. 2. Raise me, Jesus, to Thy bosom, For my heart is slave to fear, That will vanish as a shadow, When it feels Thy presence near. In my anguish deign to hear me All my sin and grief confess; By the promise Thou hast given, Lift me, Jesus, to Thy breast. [Refrain] 3. Raise me, Jesus, to Thy bosom, Hear a contrite spirit’s prayer; Raise me from the sin around me Ere I yield me to despair. Oh, I feel that Thou wilt hear me, And will give me holy rest; Now I feel Thy glory near me, Lift me, Jesus, to Thy breast. [Refrain] | The New Praiseworthy: for the Church and Sunday School #195 (1916) The Cyber Hymnal #5728 |
