Blessed Jesus, who for me
Gave Thy life a ransom free,
Wash me in the precious flood
Of Thy dear redeeming blood:
Let me give myself to Thee,
Who didst give Thyself for me;
Be Thou evermore my guide;
Keep me ever by Thy side:
Let me never, never stray
From Thee, Only Living Way!
Let my hungry soul be fed
On Thee, Lord, of Life the Bread!
Let me quench my thirst in Thee,
Love's Immeasurable Sea!
Let Thy love so constant shine
In this heart and soul of mine,
That, completely lost in Thee,
As a raindrop in the sea,
I may feel and act and will,
Just as Thou my being fill!
No more, then, shall unbelief
Fill me with intensest grief;
No more, then, shall Satan's power
O'er my soul in darkness lower;
But all earthly hope and fame
I 'll surrender for Thy name,
Count all earthly good as dross,
Glory only in Thy Cross;
And my greatest joy shall be
Jesus died and lives for me!
