Jesus, Help Me

Jesus

help me

I am wea­ry

Let me hold Thy hand in mine;

For the stream of liv­ing wa­ter

In a thirs­ty land I pine;

O my Fa­ther

do not leave me

In this dark and dread­ful hour

Fold me in Thy arms of mer­cy

Keep me from the tempt­er’s pow’r.

Jesus

help me

I am faint­ing

’Neath the de­sert’s burn­ing sky;

Lead to pas­tures cool and frag­rant

There my ev­ery want sup­ply;

Shade me with Thy wings eter­nal

Let me feel Thee ever near;

Thou canst whis­per words of comfort

Thou canst dry the fall­ing tear.

Jesus

help me

I am sink­ing

In the cold and chil­ly wave;

Give me strength

my faith in­creas­ing

Thou alone hast pow­er to save.

Let my soul be filled with rap­ture

Let my hope be stayed in Thee

Let me bear my cross with pa­tience

Till I sleep and wake with Thee.
