ON TO JESUS; ON TO GOD.
BY REV. G. D. PIKE, D.D.
Holy Spirit, comfort me:
I am sadly stained by sin;
Help thou mine infirmity,
Lead me where the Lamb hath been.
Thou canst guide me o’er the road,
On to Jesus; on to God.
I have grieved thee oft and sore,
Quenched thy gentle, kindly voice;
Take, O take me evermore,
Let my soul again rejoice.
Set my feet upon the road;
On to Jesus; on to God.
Finish thou the work in me,
Now so graciously begun;
Thanks and praise my song shall be
To the blessed three in one,
As I hie me o’er the road,
On to Jesus; on to God.
When my mortal days are done;
When I meet the Lamb that died;
Grant, O grant thy erring son
Rest among the glorified,
Ransomed, saved, along the road.
On to Jesus; on to God.
