Ever bless­èd Je­sus,
Listen un­to me;
Bow Thine ear and hear me,
While I call to Thee;
I am weak and sin­ful,
Thou art pure and strong;
Take my hand, dear Je­sus,
Lead Thy child along.

Refrain

Take my hand, dear Je­sus,
Let me ne­ver stray;
Take my hand and lead me,
In the bet­ter way.

Ever bless­èd Je­sus,
Bless Thy way­ward child,
Keep my feet from stray­ing
Thro’ the des­ert wild;
I would ne­ver wan­der
From Thy lov­ing side;
Ever bless­èd Je­sus,
Be my cons­tant guide.

Refrain

Help me, bless­èd Je­sus,
Leave me not alone;
Give me strength and pa­tience
Till each du­ty’s done;
And when life is end­ed,
I Thy face would see;
Hear my pray­er, dear Je­sus,
Take me up to Thee.

Refrain
