‎#431

431. Abasement for Sin

1. Guilty and self-condemned I lie,
Great God, beneath thy feet;
And scarcely dare lift up mine eye,
My sins appear so great.

2. Yet still in thee alone I trust,
To wash away my stains,
In that all-sacred stream which burst
From Jesus' bleeding veins.

3. Submissive would I wait to hear
What God the Lord will say;
Oh be propitious to my prayer,
Nor send me grieved away.
