1 Jesus, Name all names above,
Jesus, best and dearest,
Jesus, Fount of perfect love,
Holiest, tenderest, nearest;
Jesus, Source of grace completest,
Jesus purest, Jesus sweetest,
Jesus, Well of power divine,
Make me, keep me, seal me Thine!
2 Thou didst call the prodigal;
Thou didst pardon Mary;
Thou Whose words can never fall,
Love can never vary;
Thou Whose wounds are ever pleading,
And Thy passion interceding,
From my misery let me rise
To a home in Paradise!
3 Jesus, crowned with thorns for me,
Scourged for my transgression,
Witnessing, through agony,
That Thy good confession;
Jesus, clad in purple raiment,
For my evils making payment,
Let not all Thy woe and pain,
Let not Calvary be in vain!
4 When I reach death’s bitter sea,
And its waves mount higher,
Earthly help forsaking me,
As the storm draws nigher:
Jesus, leave me not to languish:
Helpless, hopeless, full of anguish!
Jesus, let me hear Thee say:
"Thou shalt be with Me to-day!"
Amen.
