Tune:[I am coming to the cross]
Composer:William G. Fischer

264. I Am Coming to the Cross

1 I am coming to the cross;
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.

2 Long my heart has sighed for Thee;
Long has evil reigned within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
"I will cleanse you from all sin."

3 Here I give my all to Thee -
Friends, and time, and earthly store;
Soul and body Thine to be,
Wholly Thine for evermore.

4 Jesus comes! He fills my soul!
Perfected in Him I am;
I am every whit made whole -
Glory, glory to the Lamb!
