Let Me Lean on Thy Bosom

Let me lean on Thy bosom

dear Sav­ior

I pray

Tho’ worth­less and wea­ry at heart;

Let me come! Give me shel­ter; Oh

turn not away

Bid my gloom and my sor­row de­part.

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

I pray

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

I pray

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

dear Sav­ior

I pray

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

dear Sav­ior

I pray

Tho’ err­ing and sin­ful

and vile;

Tho’ I’ve wan­dered

for­give me

I come back to­day

And en­treat for Thy fa­vor and smile.

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

dear Sav­ior

I pray

For there I new strength shall ob­tain;

To meet ev­ery tri­al that pass­es this way

To bear with­out mur­mur all pain.

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

dear Sav­ior

I pray

Held close in Thy lov­ing em­brace;

Nor leave me

no

no

lest I wan­der and stray

And again I lose sight of Thy face.

Let me lean on Thy bo­som

dear Sav­ior

I pray

My hand in Thine own while I sing

Of the grace which hath saved me

of this hap­py day

When my heart owns that Je­sus is king.
