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.
