African American Heritage Hymnal ‎#274

274. Touch Me, Lord Jesus

1 Touch, touch me, Lord Jesus,
With Thy hand of mercy,
Make each throbbing heartbeat
Feel Thy pow'r divine.
O take my will forever,
I will doubt Thee never,
O Lord, please cleanse me, my dear Savior,
Make me wholly Thine.

2 Mold, mold me, dear Savior;
As I bow before Thee,
Prostrate, prostrate and helpless,
Make my heart Thy throne.
O purge my dross with hissop;
Burn me with Thy fire;
O Lord, please make, make me and use me;
Ever all Thine own.

3 Feed, feed me, dear Jesus,
From Thy holy table,
Rain, rain bread from heaven,
Let my cup o'erflow.
O naked, sick and hungry;
Poor and weak and lonely,
O Lord, please feed feed me, Lord Jesus
Till I want no more.

4 Guide, guide me, Jehovah,
Thro' this vale of sorrow,
I am safe forever,
Trusting in Thy love.
O bear me thro' the current;
O'er the chilly Jordan,
O Lord, please lead me, my dear Savior
To my home above.
