When I Call

Representative Text

1 When I call upon Thee, Jesus,
Hear my soul’s deep cry;
Leave me not for I am lonely,
Do not pass me by.

2 When by grief my heart is broken,
To the Rock I fly;
Let me feel Thy love-touch, Jesus,
Do not pass me by.

3 All the streams of life are wasted,
All the brooks are dry;
Send the living streams from Heaven,
Do not pass me by.

4 When the storms of life are breaking,
And no help is night,—
When I sink beneath the waters
Do not pass me by.
