"Jesus, My Truth, My Way" by Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. Jesus, my Truth, my Way, My sure, unerring Light, On Thee my feeble soul I stay, Which Thou wilt lead aright. 2. My Wisdom and my Guide, My Counselor Thou art; Oh, let me never leave Thy side Nor from Thy paths depart! 3. Thou seest my feebleness; Jesus, be Thou my Power, My Help and Refuge in distress, My Fortress and my Tower. 4. Give me to trust in Thee; Be Thou my sure Abode; My Horn and Rock and Buckler be, My Savior and my God. 5. Myself I cannot save, Myself I cannot keep; But strength in Thee I surely have, Whose eyelids never sleep. 6. My soul to Thee alone Now, therefore, I commend. Thou, Jesus, having loved Thine own, Wilt love me to the end. _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #433 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: John 14:6 Author: Charles Wesley, 1749, cento Composer: Johann M.
