JESU, Lord of life and glory.
Bend from heaven thy gracious ear;
While our waiting souls adore thee,
Friend of helpless sinners, hear:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

2 * Taught by thine unerring Spirit
Boldly we draw nigh to God.
Only in thy spotless merit,
Only through thy precious Blood:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.
