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 wand'rer, day by day,
In the strait and narrow way.
Thou canst fit me, by Thy grace,
For the heav'nly 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.
