1 O Jesus, the Saviour, I plead unto Thee,
My conscience to cleanse And my soul to make free;
The burden of sin is too heavy to bear,
O Jesus, have pity and answer my prayer.
And answer my prayer,
And answer my prayer,
O Jesus, have pity and answer my prayer!
2 O Jesus, the Saviour, all else have I tried,
And naught has my poor longing heart satisfied;
They tell me that Thou hast the balm that I need;
O Jesus, the Saviour, for this do I plead.
For this do I plead,
For this do I plead,
O Jesus, the Saviour, for this do I plead!
3 O Jesus, the Saviour, do pity my tears!
O heal this dread anguish and banish these fears!
Remember, I'm looking to Thee, only Thee!
O Jesus, the Saviour, have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me,
Have mercy on me,
O Jesus, the Saviour, have mercy on me!
