Jesus, Savior, We Implore Thee

Jesus

Sav­ior

we im­plore Thee

Hear Thy child­ren now be­fore Thee

For Thy good­ness we ado­re Thee

Still our hearts in safe­ty keep.

While Thy mer­cy we are plead­ing

Thou in Heav’n art in­ter­ced­ing;

Lead us where Thy flocks are feed­ing

Gentle Shep­herd

lead Thy sheep.

Meekly now Thy Word re­ceiv­ing

In Thy pre­cious name be­liev­ing

Earthly plea­sures glad­ly leav­ing

Help us

Lord

to fol­low Thee.

Hoping

trust­ing

ne’er re­pin­ing

All to Thee by faith re­sign­ing

In Thy gra­cious arms re­clin­ing

Thy dis­ci­ples we would be.

In our weak­ness

Lord

be­friend us

From the tempt­er’s pow­er de­fend us

May the shin­ing ones at­tend us

When we wake

and when we sleep.

Peaceful in Thy strength abid­ing

Joyful in Thy love con­fid­ing;

Where the liv­ing streams are glid­ing

Blessèd Sav­ior

lead Thy sheep.
