8847. Save Me, Gracious God

1 O Jesus, at Thy cross I fall!
From sin and shame I fly;
And on Thy hallowed name I call:
Save, Jesus, or I die.

Refrain:
Now save me, save me, gracious God!
As now to Thee I fly;
Oh, wash me in Thy cleansing blood!
Oh, wash me, or I die!

2 Speak pardon, Lord! show pity now;
What yet have I to flee?
See! at Thy feet I humbly bow;
My life I give to Thee. [Refrain]

3 God of almighty power and love,
Say, is there grace for me?
Oh, let my cry Thy pity move!
Oh, let me fly to Thee. [Refrain]

4 Yes, bless the Lord, I now believe
Thy blood was shed for me!
Glory to God! I now receive
A pardon full and free. [Refrain]
