Jesus, I, a help­less mor­tal,
Ere I per­ish, come to Thee;
Thou of life the on­ly por­tal,
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty;
Soon this world must pass away;
Naught abides ex­cept in Thee;
Give me life that lasts for aye;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.

Thou hast said Thy sheep shall ne­ver,
Never per­ish—cease to be;
O, I want to live for­ev­er;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.
Thou of hope the on­ly door,
Thou of life the liv­ing tree,
Give me life for­ev­er­more;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.

Thou with end­less life the pow­er,
Great Mel­chi­ze­dek I see;
Share with me this price­less dow­er;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.
King of right­eous­ness and peace,
Priest of God’s eter­ni­ty,
Give me life that ne’er shall cease;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.

Savior dear, I yield Thee now
Glory that be­longs to Thee;
Bread of life eter­nal Thou;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.
Save from death as well as sin;
Let me live, and live with Thee:
Life of ag­es I would I win;
Give me im­mor­ta­li­ty.
