Dear Jesus, canst Thou help me? My soul is full of woe; My heart is almost breaking, I’ve nowhere else to go. Refrain I’ve nowhere else to go, Dear Jesus, but to Thee, And so I lift my voice and cry, Have mercy, Lord on me. Have mercy, Lord, on me. Have mercy, Lord on me And so I lift my voice and cry, Have mercy, Lord on me. I feel I am a sinner, And this my only plea, The sweet and blessèd assurance, That Thou hast died for me. Refrain I’ve heard there is a fountain, Where cleansing waters flow; My sins though red like crimson, May now be white as snow. Refrain Thy blood doth fill that fountain, Thy blood so pure and free; That blood availed for others, And now avails for me. Refrain Dear Jesus, loving Savior; Thou precious dying Lamb, Where here my faith is pleading; Now take me as I am. |
