Dear Jesus, Canst Thou Help Me?

Dear Je­sus

canst Thou help me?

My soul is full of woe;

My heart is al­most break­ing

I’ve no­where else to go.

I’ve no­where else to go

Dear Je­sus

but to Thee

And so I lift my voice and cry

Have mer­cy

Lord on me.

Have mer­cy

Lord

on me.

Have mer­cy

Lord on me

And so I lift my voice and cry

Have mer­cy

Lord on me.

I feel I am a sin­ner

And this my on­ly plea

The sweet and bless­èd as­sur­ance

That Thou hast died for me.

I’ve heard there is a fount­ain

Where cleans­ing wa­ters flow;

My sins though red like crim­son

May now be white as snow.

Thy blood doth fill that fount­ain

Thy blood so pure and free;

That blood availed for oth­ers

And now avails for me.

Dear Je­sus

lov­ing Sav­ior;

Thou pre­cious dy­ing Lamb

Where here my faith is plead­ing;

Now take me as I am.
