16942. Receive Me Now

1 Receive me now, oh! gra­cious One,
For I am lost, and all undone;
No worth have I, no oth­er plea,
Save that Thou died to ran­som me!

Refrain:
Receive me now, I hum­bly pray,
And wash my sin and guilt away;
I now re­pent, con­fess, be­lieve,
Receive me, Lord, oh! now re­ceive.

2 Receive me now, I’ve turned from sin,
And would be free and pure with­in;
All earth­ly help can­not but fail,
Thy blood is all that can avail! [Refrain]

3 Receive me now, for in Thy name
Thy pro­mis­es of love I claim;
Dispel my care and deep dis­tress,
Forgive each sin and ful­ly bless. [Refrain]

4 Receive me now, and make me Thine,
For un­to Thee I all re­sign;
O keep me in Thy close em­brace
Till I be­hold Thy glo­ri­ous face! [Refrain]
