Jesus My Prayer to Thee Today

1 Jesus my prayer to Thee today
Is that all sin be washed away;
Nor purge me with Thy precious blood.
Come nigh to me Thou Son of God.

Refrain:
O, Christ of God Fill Thou, my soul,
And wash me with Thy precious blood.
O, keep me ever by Thy side,
And in my heart may love abide.

2 My heart, my life to Thee, I bring.
I own Thee, Master, Lord and King;
I consecrate to Thee, my all:
On me may Heavenly fire fall. [Refrain]

3 Lead me, O Lord, in service sweet,
May I my God, Thy love repeat?
Grant that someone may come to Thee
When e're I tell of dark Calvary. [Refrain]

4 Lord, some time, may my privilege be
That I some day, Thy dear face see.
O may I ever worship Thee
Thru-out the long Eternity. [Refrain]
