1.

Jesus, my Savior, I pray Thee,
Let me abide in Thy peace.
All that brings rest and assurance,
Jesus, within me increase.

Chorus:

Bend me, mold me;
Help me Thy Word to obey.
Bend me, mold me
Into Thine image, I pray.

2.

Though in my flesh there’s resistance,
Yet I delight in Thy will;
And in Thy grace Thou dost draw me,
Savior, to follow Thee still.

3.

Laws of Thy body I cherish;
From sin and death they set free.
Thy precious love melts my hardness;
Sweet, then, is suff’ring to me.

4.

Thou art my Head and my Leader;
Sweet is my rest, Lord, in Thee.
All that would burden and hinder
Thou dost remove far from me.

5.

Walking in light unto bloodshed—
This is my cov’nant with Thee.
Thou didst by this give Thy promise,
That I triumphant shall be.
