JESUS, MY SAVIOUR, LOOK ON ME, by                    
Last Line: Thou art my all.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, my Saviour, look on me!
For I am weary and oppressed;
I come to cast my soul on Thee:
Thou art my Rest.

Look down on me, for I am weak;
I feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid omnipotent I seek--
Thou art my Strength.

I am bewildered on my way;
Dark and tempestuous is the night:
Oh! shed Thou forth some cheering ray--
Thou art my Light.

I hear the storms around me rise;
But when I dread th' impending shock,
My spirit to her Refuge flies--
Thou art my Rock.

When the accuser flings his darts,
I look to Thee-my terrors cease;
Thy cross a hiding place imparts--
Thou art my Peace.

Standing alone on Jordan's brink,
In that tremendous, latest strife,
Thou wilt not suffer me to sink--
Thou art my Life.

Thou wilt my ev'ry want supply,
E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
Through life, in death, eternally,
Thou art my All.
