1289. 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.
I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
O thou Lamb of Calvary!
Humbly at thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

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."
I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
O thou Lamb of Calvary!
Humbly at thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

3 Here I give my all to thee,
Friends and time and earthly store;
Soul and body thine to be,
Wholly thine forevermore.
I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
O thou Lamb of Calvary!
Humbly at thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

4 In thy promises I trust,
Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust,
I with Christ am crucified.
I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
O thou Lamb of Calvary!
Humbly at thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.
