(8.8.8.4.)
Composed for “Church Hymns with Tunes”, S.P.C.K., 1874.
| 1 | Jesu, my Saviour, look on me, | 2 | Look down on me, for I am weak; | |||
| For I am weary and oppressed; | I feel the toilsome journey’s length; | |||||
| I come to cast myself on Thee; | Thine aid omnipotent I seek; | |||||
| Thou art my Rest. | Thou art my Strength. | |||||
| 3 | I am bewildered on my way; | 4 | When Satan flings his fiery darts, | |||
| Dark and tempestuous is the night; | I look to Thee; my terrors cease; | |||||
| Oh, shed Thou forth some cheering ray; | Thy cross a hiding place imparts; | |||||
| Thou art my Light. | Thou art my Peace. | |||||
| 5 | Standing alone on Jordan’s brink, | 6 | Thou wilt my every want supply | |||
| In that tremendous latest strife, | E’en to the end, whate’er befall; | |||||
| Thou wilt not suffer me to sink; | Through life, in death, eternally, | |||||
| Thou art my Life. | Thou art my All. Amen. | |||||
