151. Saviour! all my sins confessing

1 Saviour! all my sins confessing,
Gracious hear me when I cry;
Give, through faith, the promised blessing,
Freely, fully justify.

2 By Thy Holy Spirit's leading,
Bring me to Thy bosom nigh,
In Thy blessed footsteps treading,
Soul and body sanctify.

3 Thus, the days of conflict ended,
In the mansions of the sky,
Whither, Lord, Thou art ascended,
With Thyself, me glorify.
