Take My Hand, Dear Jesus

Ever bless­èd Je­sus

Listen un­to me;

Bow Thine ear and hear me

While I call to Thee;

I am weak and sin­ful

Thou art pure and strong;

Take my hand

dear Je­sus

Lead Thy child along.

Take my hand

dear Je­sus

Let me nev­er stray;

Take my hand and lead me

In the bet­ter way.

Ever bless­èd Je­sus

Bless Thy way­ward child

Keep my feet from stray­ing

Thro’ the des­ert wild;

I would nev­er wan­der

From Thy lov­ing side;

Ever bless­èd Je­sus

Be my cons­tant guide.

Help me

bless­èd Je­sus

Leave me not alone;

Give me strength and pa­tience

Till each du­ty’s done;

And when life is end­ed

I Thy face would see;

Hear my pray­er

dear Je­sus

Take me up to Thee.
