my business lies at jesus' gate
where many a lazar (beggar) comes
and here I seek and here I wait
for mercy's falling crumbs
the lord I hear the hungry feeds
and cheers the souls distressed
he loves to bind up broken reeds
and heal a bleeding breast
his name is jesus full of grace
which draws me to his door
and will not jesus show his face
and bring his gospel store?
supplies of every grace I want
and each day want supply
and if no grace the lord will grant
I must lie down and die
I must lie down and die
