LyicsGracious Lord, incline thine ear,
My requests vouchsafe to hear;
Hear my never-ceasing cry,
Give me Jesus, or I die.
Wealth and honor, I disdain,
Earthly comforts, Lord, are vain;
These can never satisfy;
Give me Jesus, or I die.
Lord, deny me what thou wilt,
Only save my soul from guilt;
Suppliant, at thy feet I lie,
Give me Jesus, or I die.
Weak, unholy, and unclean,
I am much defil'd with sin,
On thy mercy I rely,
Give me Jesus, or I die.
Thou dost freely save the lost,
In thy grace alone I trust;
With my earnest suit comply,
Give me Jesus, or I die.
Thou hast promis'd to forgive
All who in thy Son believe;
Lord, I know thou cans't not lie,
Give me Jesus, or I die.
