Poor, weak, and worthless, though I am

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #166 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak and worthless, though I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Saviour, is his name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood; And, by his power, my foes controll'd: He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns:-- I’ve been a faithless friend to him. 4 Often my gracious friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my friend can say. 5 Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He’d frown and spurn me from his sight. Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Friend

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #422 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak, and worthless though I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Saviour, is His name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And, by His power, my foes controll'd; He found me wand'ring far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns: I’ve been a faithless friend to Him. 4 Often my gracious Friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my Friend can say. 5 Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my Friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He'd frown and spurn me from his sight. Topics: Backsliding; Christians their life and experience; Confession of Sin; Forgiveness Of Sin; Pardon Languages: English
