1.

I’ll draw near to my heavenly Bridegroom
So I learn of His mind and His way,
And His glorious laws and commandments
He can write on my heart day by day.

Chorus:

I will lean on my Master, on Jesus.
I will rest in His loving embrace.
In my pain He sends comfort so precious.
In my need He anoints me with grace.

2.

There I learn nevermore to be bitter,
Nor to dwell on the evil I meet.
I’ve no time for such folly: far better
To sit down at my dear Master’s feet.

3.

I will learn to be still, meek, and lowly,
Thus my Master’s command to fulfill.
Jesus’ virtues will flourish within me
When I never say No to His will.

4.

When Christ knocks on my heart, I will answer,
And I’ll open at once to God’s Son.
Bread and wine we’ll partake of together.
With God’s Lamb I’ll be truly made one.

5.

I will not put my trust in man’s wisdom—
On the arm of the flesh ne’er rely.
In all things I will trust in my Savior
And His great, holy name magnify.

6.

I will live before God, not forgetting
That to Him I must answer one day
And account for the days of life’s sojourn.
Fill my longings, dear Savior, I pray!
