Lord Jesus, Help Me

William J. Henry (1911) • English

Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 18:6

Verse 1

Lord Jesus, my blessed Redeemer, I humble myself at Thy cross; I die to the world and its pleasures, And count all its riches but dross.

Chorus

Oh, make of me what Thou wilt have me to be, As clay is so I am to Thee; Just fashion me to Thine own pleasure, Till Thou shalt Thine own image see.

Verse 2

Lord Jesus, help me to do something To save some poor sinner today; Oh, may I live so I can win them, And never to turn them away.

Chorus

Oh, make of me what Thou wilt have me to be, As clay is so I am to Thee; Just fashion me to Thine own pleasure, Till Thou shalt Thine own image see.

Verse 3

Lord Jesus, help me to be patient, And gentle and kind would I be; And teach me to do to my brother, As I would have him do to me.

Chorus

Oh, make of me what Thou wilt have me to be, As clay is so I am to Thee; Just fashion me to Thine own pleasure, Till Thou shalt Thine own image see.

Verse 4

Lord Jesus, help me to be faithful, And never to yield to the foe; And when to Thy courts I am summoned, Oh, may I be ready to go.

Chorus

Oh, make of me what Thou wilt have me to be, As clay is so I am to Thee; Just fashion me to Thine own pleasure, Till Thou shalt Thine own image see.
