Text: | Cry of the Penitent |
Author: | Mrs. C. H. M. |
Tune: | [Father, I am weary and sick with sin] |
Composer: | Mrs. C. H. Morris |
1 Father, I am weary and sick with sin,
Wandering away from Thee;
To Thine arms of mercy, oh, take me in,
Fully saved I long to be.
Chorus:
Take me in,
Take me in,
Open wide Thine arms of love and take me in;
See, I come relenting, o’er the past repenting,
Open wide Thine arms of love and take me in.
2 Here a full surrender I freely make,
Helpless at Thy feet I lie;
Worldly fame and treasures I all forsake,
To their charms forever die. [Chorus]
3 Deeper yet my soul in its longing cries,
Work within the double cure;
For a whole salvation my sacrifice,
Sanctify and make me pure. [Chorus]
4 Evermore, my Savior, hold Thou me fast
In Thy loving, strong embrace,
Until safe in glory, my anchor cast,
I behold Thee face to face. [Chorus]
