Lyrics

Suff’ring Sav­ior, hear my cry;
To Thy lov­ing arms I fly;
Bless me, Sav­ior, bless me now,
While to Thee I hum­bly bow.

Refrain

Savior, Sav­ior, bless me now,
While to Thee I hum­bly bow.

Thou alone can keep my feet
From the paths of sin so deep;
Blest Re­deem­er, Sav­ior kind,
Cause Thy face on me to shine.

Refrain

Let me feel Thy sav­ing pow­er
Sweetly flow this ve­ry hour;
Fill my soul with love di­vine;
Take my heart, O Lord: ’tis Thine.
