Lyrics

Is my Je­sus your redeemer,
Has He cast out all your fears?
Can you say, My God, I love Thee?
Thou hast wiped away my tears?

Refrain

Jesus now is kindly calling,
Calling from His home above;
Trust, O trust His boundless mercy,
Trust His ne­ver dying love.

Are you living now for Je­sus?
Do you work with willing hands,
Do you watch and pray for wisdom,
Day by day as God commands?

Refrain

Bring your every sin to Je­sus,
Bring Him all your grief and care;
He will carry all your bur­den,
And will all your sorrow share.

Refrain

With His gentle hand He’ll lead you,
Should temptations strong assail,
He has promised grace to help you,
Never can His promise fail.
