CPWI Hymnal ‎#157

157. Jesu, meek and lowly

1 Jesu, meek and lowly,
Saviour, pure and holy,
on thy love relying
hear me humbly crying.

2 Prince of life and power,
my salvation’s tower,
on the cross I view thee
calling sinners to thee.

3 There behold me gazing
at the sight amazing;
bending low before thee,
helpless, I adore thee.

4 By thy red wounds streaming
with thy life-blood gleaming,
blood for sinners flowing,
pardon free bestowing;

5 by that fount of blessing,
thy dear love expressing,
all my aching sadness
turn thou into gladness.

6 Lord in mercy guide me,
be thou e’er beside me;
in thy ways direct me,
’neath thy wings protect me.
