[Jesus, Lord, for Thee I stay]

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee, &c. —iv. 26.

Jesus, Lord, for Thee I stay,
Come and take my sins away,
Manifest the Deity,
“I who speak to souls am He”!

359

Speak eternal God to mine,
Light of life, in darkness shine:
Thou the true Messiah art,
Teach by living in my heart.
