“Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By”

LADEN with sins and burdened with cares, Beset with temptations, tormented by fears, From self look away; to thy Saviour draw nigh: Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
If thou hast wandered, as sheep that do stray, Then wander no more, for Christ is the way; And he leadeth to God, who dwelleth on high: Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
Seek him, my soul, in the days of thy youth, Seek him, and follow, for he is the truth! Sick of the false, for truth dost thou sigh? Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
Art thou discouraged and faint in the strife, A perishing sinner? Christ is the life. Come follow him, for why will you die? Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
Thou art all weakness, but he is all strength; Looking to him, thou shalt conquer at length; Whence thy help cometh, then, lift up thine eye: Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
Hasten, O hasten, thy Saviour to meet! Thy sins and thy sorrows lay at his dear feet; Take up thy cross, thine own self deny: Jesus of Nazareth now passeth by!
Jesus of Nazareth, my hope and my God, Guide me and keep me till life's paths be trod; Forsake me not, Lord, or I falter and die; Jesus of Nazareth, pass me not by!
