If you know Messe’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head-and-shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
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.
