Oh, Jesus, Saviour, let me stay
So near Thy side
That I Thy presence may enjoy alway,
And there" abide:
That I upon Thy blessed face may gaze,
And hear that voice
Which my glad heart throughout eternal days
Shall make rejoice.
Then gazing, Jesus, on those hands of thine
Once pierced for me-
The very tokens of that love divine
On Calvary's Tree-
Thyself, Thy love,
Thy worthiness may fill
This gladdened heart;
And keep me watching, waiting, praising, till
I'm where Thou art.
