| Text: | Jesus, to thee I now can fly |
| Author: | Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | DOWNS |
| Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 Jesus, to thee I now can fly,
On whom my help is laid:
Oppressed by sins, I lift mine eye,
And see the shadows fade.
2 Believing on my Lord, I find
A sure and present aid;
On thee alone my constant mind
Be every moment stayed.
3 Whate'er in me seems wise, or good,
Or strong, I here disclaim;
I wash my garments in the blood
Of the atoning Lamb.
4 Jesus, my strength, my life, my rest,
On thee will I depend,
Till summoned to the marriage-feast,
When faith in sight shall end.
