Jesus, Lord, we come before Thee,
Much we need Thy tender care;
Fold Thy loving arms around us,
Gently in Thy bosom bear.
Blessed Jesus,
We are happy when we’re there.
We are very weak and sinful,
Lost and ruined without Thee,
But the precious blood can save us
Thou did’st shed upon the tree;
Blessed Jesus,
Make us now its worth to see.
Help us every day to please Thee,
Make us gentle, kind and good;
Take us, if we die, unto Thee
Where no sin can e’er intrude;
Blessed Jesus,
Then we’ll praise Thee as we would.
