Beulah Songs ‎#8

8. Determined Importunity

1 Because for me the Saviour prays,
And pleads His death for me,
God hath vouchsafed a longer space,
And spared the barren tree.

2 I now from all my sins would turn
To my atoning God;
And look on Him I pierced, and mourn,
And feel the sprinkled blood:-

3 Would nail my passions to the cross,
Where my Redeemer died;
And all things else account but loss
For Jesus crucified.

4 Giver of penitential pain,
Before Thy cross I lie;
In grief determined to remain
Till Thou Thy blood apply.

5 Forgiveness on my conscience seal;
Bestow Thy promised rest:
With purest love Thy servant fill,
And number with the blest.
