Thou Saviour of the sinsick soul

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Thou Saviour of the sinsick soul, Thou Refuge in distress, When doubt's dark billows near me roll, Close to thy side I press. 2 The burdened heart must seek in vain For merit of its own; There's freedom from each crimson stain In thee, and thee alone. 3 Let him who feels his load of guilt Strive not its weight to bear; The hopes that man on self has built Are doomed to dark despair. 4 But thou, O Christ, whose blood was shed For all who plead its power, Wilt lift the load that bows the head In deep contrition's hour! 5 Thy tender heart has felt the weight Of sins that were not thine, And lo! within that burden great I view these sins of mine. 6 'Tis faith that points them out to me When, fainting 'neath the load, I turn my longing eyes to thee, Far up the narrow road.

Come now to life's waters, ye thirsty ones, come. 4 The last call of mercy now lingers for thee; O, break the strong fetters of sin, and be free!
