Jesus, my Advocate above
1
Jesus, my Advocate above,My Friend before the throne of love,If now for me prevails thy prayer,If now I find thee pleading there,—
2
Do thou the secret wish conveyThat prompts my wayward heart to pray;Hear, and my weak petition join,Almighty Advocate, to thine.
3
Jesus, my heart's desire obtain,My earnest suit present, and gain;My fullness of corruption show;The knowledge of myself bestow.
4
My sovereign Lord, to thee I cry;Without thy mercy I must die:My life, my only heaven thou art;—O may I feel thee in my heart!
