"Jesus, my Saviour! look on me." by George Balch Nevin — Lyrics
Jesus, my Saviour, look on me,
For I am weary and oppressed;
I come to cast myself on thee:
Thou are my Rest.
Look down on us, for we are weak;
We feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid omnipotent we seek:
Thou art our strength.
