JESUS' BLESSING.

By Simon Patten

TUNE, "Annie Lyle,"
WHEN Jesus had arisen, Having conquered death, He to those he loved most dearly, Showed himself on earth. He led them to the mountain, Where they oft had been. There he raised his hands and blessed them, And they worshiped him.
CHORUS:
O Jesus, we'll receive thee, And we often pray, That thy blessings may upon us, Settle day by day.
See our dear Saviour standing, And behold him bless, Those who willing were to follow, Him with faithfulness. May we now claim a portion, Of that blessing shed, There with love in rich abundance, Upon every head.
CHORUS:
Though Jesus there ascended, He is willing still, To impart his gracious blessing, If we do his will. He's left his Holy Spirit, To rejoice our hearts, 'Tis the promised Comforter, who, Needed help imparts.
CHORUS:
May we prove ever faithful, To the Lord we love, And he'll grant to us a blessing, From his courts above. O Lord, unto thy people, Give the needed strength, And with help from thee at all times, We'll reach home at length.
CHORUS:
SIMON PATTEN.
