Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Laudes Domini #267 (1890) First Line: O Thou, the contrite sinner's Friend Lyrics: 1 O Thou, the contrite sinner's Friend,
Who loving, lov'st them to the end,
On this alone my hopes depend,
That thou wilt plead for me.
2 When weary in the Christian race,
Far off appears my resting place,
And, fainting, I mistrust thy grace,
Then, Saviour, plead for me.
3 When I have erred and gone astray,
Afar from thine and wisdom's way,
And see no glimmering, guiding ray,
Still, Saviour, plead for me.
4 When Satan, by my sins made bold,
Strives from thy cross to loose my hold,
Then with thy pitying arms enfold,
And plead, oh, plead for me!
5 And when my dying hour draws near,
Darkened with anguish, guilt and fear,
Then to my fainting sight appear,
Pleading in heaven for me. Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Accepted; Atonement Accepted; Christ Advocate; Christ Mediator; God Pity; Repentance; Atonement Accepted; Christ Advocate; Christ Mediator; God Pity; Repentance Languages: English
