Dear Jesus, Canst Thou Help Me?

Dear Jesus, canst Thou help me?

My soul is full of woe;

My heart is almost breaking,

I've nowhere else to go.

Refrain

I've nowhere else to go,

Dear Jesus, but to Thee,

And so I lift my voice and cry,

Have mercy, Lord on me.

Have mercy, Lord, on me.

Have mercy, Lord on me

And so I lift my voice and cry,

Have mercy, Lord on me.

I feel I am a sinner,

And this my only plea,

The sweet and blessèd assurance,

That Thou hast died for me.

Refrain

I've heard there is a fountain,

Where cleansing waters flow;

My sins though red like crimson,

May now be white as snow.

Refrain

Thy blood doth fill that fountain,

Thy blood so pure and free;

That blood availed for others,

And now avails for me.

Refrain

Dear Jesus, loving Savior;

Thou precious dying Lamb,

Where here my faith is pleading;

Now take me as I am.
