338 I will leave my Jesus never!

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 for ever, 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 for ever; I will leave my Jesus never! 4 Not earth with all its treasure Could content this soul of mine; Not alone for heavenly pleasure, Doth my thirsty spirit pine: For its Savior 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 swelling tide; With the blest to sing for ever: I will leave my Jesus never!
