By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M.
      1 JESU, my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
      On whom I cast my every care,
      On whom for all things I depend,
      Inspire, and then accept, my prayer.

      2 If I have tasted of thy grace,
      The grace that sure salvation brings,
      If with me now thy Spirit stays,
      And hovering hides me in his wings.

      3 Still let him with my weakness stay,
      Nor for a moment's space depart,
      Evil and danger turn away,
      And keep till he renews my heart.

      4 When to the right or left I stray,
      His voice behind me may I hear,
      "Return, and walk in Christ thy way,
      Fly back to Christ, for sin is near."

      5 His sacred unction from above
      Be still my comforter and guide;
      Till all the hardness he remove,
      And in my loving heart reside.

      6 Jesus, I fain would walk in thee,
      From nature's every path retreat;
      Thou art my Way, my leader be,
      And set upon the rock my feet.

      7 Uphold me, Saviour, or I fall,
      O reach me out thy gracious hand
      Only on thee for help I call,
      Only by faith in thee I stand.
