Jesus, my on­ly hope, friend ev­er dear,
Bend to my ear­nest pray­er Thy gra­cious ear;
Come from Thy throne above,
Come and my dross re­move,
Fill me with per­fect love, Sav­ior, to Thee.

Jesus, my on­ly hope, grant me Thy grace,
Teach me in joy and pain Thy hand to trace;
Keep Thou my heart in peace,
Bid ev­ery mur­mur cease,
Come and my faith in­crease, Sav­ior, in Thee.

Jesus, my on­ly hope, Je­sus, my king,
Help me with heart and voice Thy praise to sing;
Now let Thy beams di­vine
Bright o’er my path­way shine,
Draw me, O Sav­ior mine, clos­er to Thee.

Jesus, my on­ly hope, be Thou my guest;
Under Thy migh­ty wings, O let me rest,
Rest till the an­gel band
Home to the pro­mised land
Bears me at Thy com­mand, Sav­ior, to Thee.
