To Jesus Christ Poem by David Mitchell

Lord protect me,
Lord defend me,
Lord select me,
Lord befriend me.

Jesus, save me,
Christ above me,
With Thee have me,
Help me love Thee.

Lord about me,
Jesus, let me
Never doubt Thee
Nor forget Thee.

Lord of Power,
I entreat Thee
When Thou tower,
As I meet Thee,
High above me,
I may cower
As in fear
But to me be
Always near:
So may we see
In that hour
How to love Thee.

Lord, forgive all the sins that are past,
And then make us to live with Thee for ever at the last.
