Jesus, My Only Hope

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 ev­ery 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.
