Jesus, Thou the friend of sin­ners—
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
From my load of guilt and sor­row,
Save me, Je­sus, save me now.

Refrain

Save me now, oh, Je­sus save me!
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
O take from me my guilt and sor­row;
Save me, Je­sus, save me now.

I am poor and weak and emp­ty;
Tempted oft, and full of sin;
With Thy blood once shed for sin­ners,
Wash me, Lord, and make me clean.

Refrain

Just as I am now, dear Sav­ior
Seek I par­don, rest and peace;
By Thy heal­ing touch, dear Sav­ior,
Make my love for Thee in­crease.

Refrain

Hearing, I be­lieved, re­pent­ed;
Now con­fess Thy ho­ly name;
To be bur­ied in Thy like­ness,
Cleansing all my guilt and shame.

Refrain

Take me, Lord, and use me ev­er;
Let me work, and watch and pray;
Leading lost and rui­ned sin­ners,
To the straight and nar­row way.
