Jesus! Thou art coming,
32
Holy as thou art,
Thou, the God who made me,
To my sinful heart.
Jesus! I believe it,
On thine only word;
Kneeling, I adore thee
As my king and Lord.
2. Who am I, my Jesus,
That thou com’st to me?
I have sinned against thee,
Often, grievously,
I am very sorry
I have caused thee pain,
Jesus, I will never,
Wound thy heart again.
3. Put thy kind arms round
Feeble as I am;
Thou art my Good shepherd
I thy little lamb;
Since thou comest, Jesus,
Now to be my guest,
I can trust thee always,
Lord, for all the rest.
4. Dearest Lord, I love thee,
With my whole, whole heart,
Not for what thou givest,
But for what thou art.
Come, O come, sweet Saviour,
Come to me, and stay,
For I want thee, Jesus,
More than I can say.
5. Ah! What gift or present,
Jesus, can I bring?
I have nothing worthy
Of my God and King;
But thou art my shepherd,
I, thy little lamb;
Take myself, dear Jesus,
All I have and am.
6. Take my body, Jesus,
Eyes, and ears, and tongue;
Never let them Jesus,
Help to do thee wrong.
Take my heart, and fill it
Full of love for thee;
All I have I give thee,
Give thyself to me.
