Let me lean on Thy bosom, dear Sav­ior, I pray,
Tho’ worth­less and wea­ry at heart;
Let me come! Give me shel­ter; Oh, turn not away,
Bid my gloom and my sor­row de­part.

Refrain

Let me lean on Thy bo­som,
Let me lean on Thy bo­som, I pray,
Let me lean on Thy bo­som, I pray
Let me lean on Thy bo­som, dear Sav­ior, I pray,

Let me lean on Thy bo­som, dear Sav­ior, I pray,
Tho’ err­ing and sin­ful, and vile;
Tho’ I’ve wan­dered, for­give me, I come back to­day,
And en­treat for Thy fa­vor and smile.

Refrain

Let me lean on Thy bo­som, dear Sav­ior, I pray,
For there I new strength shall ob­tain;
To meet ev­ery tri­al that pass­es this way,
To bear with­out mur­mur all pain.

Refrain

Let me lean on Thy bo­som, dear Sav­ior, I pray,
Held close in Thy lov­ing em­brace;
Nor leave me, no, no, lest I wan­der and stray,
And again I lose sight of Thy face.

Refrain

Let me lean on Thy bo­som, dear Sav­ior, I pray,
My hand in Thine own while I sing
Of the grace which hath saved me, of this hap­py day,
When my heart owns that Je­sus is king.
