FLY BACK TO CHRIST by CHARLES WESLEY

Jesus, my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
On whom I cast my every care,
On whom for all things I depend--
Inspire, and then accept, my prayer.

If I have tasted of Thy grace--
The grace that sure salvation brings;
If with me now Thy Spirit stays,
And, hov'ring, hides me in His wings;

Still let Him with my weakness stay,
Nor for a moment's space depart;
Evil and danger turn away,
And keep, till He renews, my heart.

If to the right or left I stray,
His voice behind me may I hear--
Return, and walk in Christ, thy way;
Fly back to Christ, for sin is near!
