185. Jesus, Lord And Precious Savior

1 Jesus, Lord and precious Savior,
All my comfort and my joy!
Graciously extend Thy favor,
Let Thy Word my soul employ.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

2 All I do, O let me ever,
Jesus, in Thy name begin;
Give success to my endeavor,
Grant me victory therein.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

3 Let my words and thoughts, O Savior,
To Thy praise and glory tend;
Sanctify my whole behavior
And for aye my soul befriend.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

4 When my days on earth are ended,
May I enter into rest;
Bear me home: to Thee ascended,
Let me be forever blest.
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.

Amen.
