Trinity Hymnal ‎#458

458. For ever here my rest shall be

1 For ever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
This all my hope and all my plea,
"For me the Saviour died."

2 My dying Saviour and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean.

3 The atonement of thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love.

4 I do believe, I now believe,
That Jesus died for me;
And through his blood, His precious blood,
I shall from sin be free.

Amen.
