Verse 1
Jesus, the Christ! Eternal Word!
Of all creation Sovereign Lord!
On Thee alone by faith we rest,
And lean our weakness on Thy breast.
Verse 2
Thy blood hath washed us from our sin;
Thy Spirit sanctifies within;
And Thou for us in all our need
At God's right hand dost ever plead.
Verse 3
O Keep us in the narrow way
That ne'er from Thee our footsteps stray;
Sustain our weakness, calm our fear,
And to Thy presence keep us near.
Verse 4
And be it thus till that blest day
When God shall wipe all tears away:
Quickly! The promise of Thy word;
E'en so; Amen. Come, Jesus, Lord!
