Lyrics

My new life I owe to Thee,
Jesus, Lamb of Cal­va­ry;
Sin was can­celed on the tree,
Jesus, bless­èd Je­sus.

Humbly at Thy cross I’d stay,
Jesus, keep me there, I pray;
Teach me more of Thee each day,
Jesus, bless­èd Je­sus.

Grant me wis­dom, grace and pow­er—
Lord, I need Thee ev­ery hour.
Let my will be lost in Thine,
Jesus, bless­èd Je­sus.

Savior, Thou hast heard my plea—
Thou art near, so near to me;
Now I feel Thy strength­en­ing pow­er,
Jesus, bless­èd Je­sus.
