Hymnal: Christian Hymns #200 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns Lyrics: 1 I will leave my Jesus never!
On the cross for me He died;
Love shall draw me to Him ever,
At His feet I will abide.
Of my life the light forever,
I will leave my Jesus never!
2 In His Name I stand acquitted
While upon the earth I stay:
What I have to Him committed
He will keep until that day.
Be His service my endeavor;
I will leave my Jesus never.
3 Dwelling in His presence holy,
I at length shall reach the place
Where with all His saints in glory
I shall see His lovely face;
Nothing then but bliss forever:
I will leave my Jesus never.
4 Not for any worldly pleasure
Doth my thirsty spirit pine;
Not the earth with all its treasure
Could content this soul of mine;
For its Saviour yearning ever:
I will leave my Jesus never.
5 From that living Fountain drinking,
Walking always at His side,
Christ shall lead me without sinking
Through the river's rushing tide,
With the blest to sing for ever:
I will leave my Jesus never. Topics: Christ Abiding in; Following Christ; Gratitude to God and Christ; Name of Jesus; Renouncing All for Christ Languages: English Tune Title: LORD, TO THEE I MAKE CONFESSION
