LyicsJESUS, merciful and mild,
Lead me as a helpless child:
On no other arm but thine
Would my weary soul recline;
Thou art ready to forgive,
Thou canst bid the sinner live:
Guide the wanderer, day by day,
In the strait and narrow way.
Thou canst fit me, by thy grace,
For the heavenly dwelling-place;
All thy promises are sure,
Ever shall thy love endure.
Then what more could I desire?
How to greater bliss aspire?
All I need, in thee I see;
Thou art all in all to me.
