Jesus, my only
Hope, Friend ever
dear,
Bend to my earnest
prayer Thy
gracious ear;
Come from Thy
throne above, come
and my dross
remove,
Fill me with
perfect love,
Savior, to Thee.
Jesus, my only
Hope, grant me Thy
grace,
Teach me in joy
and pain Thy hand
to trace;
Keep Thou my heart
in peace, bid
ev’ry murmur
cease,
Come and my faith
increase, Savior,
in Thee.
Jesus, my only
Hope, Jesus, my
King,
Help me with heart
and voice Thy
praise to sing;
Now let Thy beams
divine bright o’er
my pathway shine,
Draw me, O Savior
mine, closer to
Thee.
Jesus, my only
Hope, be Thou my
Guest;
Under Thy mighty
wings, O let me
rest,
Rest till the
angel band home to
the promised land
Bears me at Thy
command, Savior,
to Thee.
