Jézus, Lelkem Szerelme

Representative Text

1 Jézus, lelkem szerelme,
Hadd meneküljek Hozzád!
Míg zúg vihara ereje,
Ádáz hullám hogyha bánt.
Védj meg, rejts el, Megváltóm!
Hisz’ éltem csak küzdelem!
Vezéreljed hithajóm,
Míg majd mennybe érkezem!

2 Csak Hozzád fordulhatok,
Te vagy minden támaszom.
Ne hagyj el, mert meghalok,
Egyetlen Vígasztalóm!
Benned bízom teljesen,
Lelkem elvész egymaga;
Védje védtelen fejem
Szárnyad védő árnyéka!

3 Szívem csak Téged kíván,
Benned mindent megtalál,
Gyógyító kezed nyomán
Béna, s halott talpra áll.
Szent, igaz a Te Neved,
Saját igazságom nincs.
Reám adta jellemed,
Új öltönyöm drága kincs.

4 Kegyelmed bőven árad,
Elfedi minden bűnöm,
Nyomán gyógyulás fakad,
Hadd tisztítsa meg bensőm.
Éleforrás csak Te vagy,
Hadd merüljek el beléd,
Szívem mélyén hogyha vagy,
Már enyém az öröklét.
