John 4:26: Jesus, Lord, for Thee I stay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Jesus, Lord, for Thee I stay,
Come and take my sins away.
Manifest the Deity,
"I who speak to souls am He "!
Speak eternal God to mine,
Light of life, in darkness shine:
Thou the true Messiah art.
Teach by living in my heart.
