1 Jesus, Lord, and precious Saviour,
All my comfort and my joy!
Graciously extend Thy favor,
Let Thy Word my soul employ,
Refrain:
Jesus, come, abide with me,
Let me ever be with Thee.
2 What I do, O, let me ever
Jesus, in Thy Name begin;
Give success to my endeavor,
Final victory therein. [Refrain]
3 Let my words and thoughts, O Saviour,
To Thy praise and glory tend;
Help me, Lord, that I may gather
Treasures that shall never end. [Refrain]
4 When my days on earth are over,
Let me gladly take my rest;
May the time come, blessèd Saviour,
When to Thee it seemeth best. [Refrain]
Amen.
