Lyics

Gracious 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 my what thou wilt,

Only save my soul from guilt;

Supplant at thy feet I lie,

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 promised to forgive,

All who in thy son believe:

Lord, I know thou canst not lie,

Give me Jesus or I die.
