Author: W. R. Young Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: Carols of Hope First Line: Jesus, I, a helpless mortal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, I, a helpless mortal, Ere I perish, come to thee; Thou of life the only portal, Give me immortality: Soon this world must pass away; Nought abides except in thee; Give me life that lasts for aye; Give me immortality. 2. Thou hast said thy sheep shall never, Never perish cease to be; O, I want to live forever; Give me immortality: Thou of hope the only door, Thou of life the living tree, Give me life for evermore; Give me immorality. 3. Thou with endless life the power, Great Melchisedek I see; Share with me this priceless dower; Give me immortality: King of righteousness and peace, Priest of God's eternity, Give me life that ne'er shall cease; Give me immortality. 4. Saviour dear, I yield thee now Glory that belongs to thee; Bread of life eternal, thou; Give me immortality: Save from death as well as sin; Let me live, and live with thee: Life of ages would I win; Give me immortality.
