Tune:[Spurn me not, O, loving Saviour]

114. Spurn Me Not

1 Spurn me not, O, loving Saviour,
Cast me not away;
Grant me pardon, life and favor,
For thy grace I pray.

Chorus:
Jesus, Saviour,
Cast me not away,
For I seek Thy smile and favor;
Hear me while I pray.

2 I am sinful, vile unworthy,
All unclean I am,
Thou art righteous, pure and holy,
Spotless, perfect lamb. [Chorus]

3 Thou hast died for me a ransom,
Shed Thy precious blood,
Thou hast purchased full redemption,
Bought my peace with God. [Chorus]

4 To Thy cross my soul is clinging,
There my faith is stay'd;
Make me joyful, ever singing,
"Thou my debt hast paid. [Chorus]
