Mark 10:17: Jesus, Lord, to Thee I run

Religion

Jesus, Lord, to Thee I run,
Humbly for direction sue,
Make the' important secret known.
Show me. Saviour, what to do:
Hear a dying sinner pray
For the life that never dies,
Art Thou not Thyself the Way?
Lead me, lead me to the skies.

Bold I may of Thee inquire:
Me the Truth will not deceive,
Life into my heart inspire,
In Thyself the answer give.
Tree of immortality,
Earnest of Thy joys above,
Live, eternal Life, in me,
Fill, O fill my soul with love!
