Tune:[Trusting the merits of Thy blood]
Composer:Charles P. Jones

357c. Trusting the merits of Thy blood

1 Trusting the merits of Thy blood,
A wretched sinner, I
Would seek Thy face, O Saviour God,
Ruler of earth and sky.

2 Confessing all my sin and guilt
Before Thy face I fall;
O may that blood for sinner's spilt
Relieve me of it all.

3 I know my soul deserves to die,
But mercy's help I plead,
O hear a wretched sinner's cry
And lift my drooping head.

4 Thou awful judge of quick and dead,
Thy promise I will trust,
Thy path of faith my feet shall tread,
Saved to the uttermost.
