Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XCII (1791) Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, incline thine Ear,
My Complaint vouchsafe to hear;
Sore distrest with Guilt am I,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
2 Wealth and Honour I disdain,
Earthly Comforts all are vain;
Then can never satisfy,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
3 Lord deny me what thou wilt,
Only take away my Guilt;
Mourning at thy Feet I lie;
Give me Christ, or else I die,
4 All Unholy and Unclean,
I am sinful, vile and mean;
But to Thee for Mercy fly,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
5 Thou dost freely save the Lost;
In thy Grace alone I Trust:
Unto Thee I lift my Cry,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
6 O my God, what shall I say?
Take, oh take my Sins away!
Jesu's Blood to me apply,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
