Sinner’s Saviour, Friend and Lord,
With my sinful heart distressed,
Lo, I come to Thee for rest.
Refrain:
Lend, O Lord, a list’ning ear,
Drive away my doubt and fear;
At Thy feet I lay my plea:
Thou, O Christ, didst die for me.
2 Take away my guilt and shame,
On my heart inscribe Thy name;
Like Thy nature make my own,
Let Thy blood for me atone. [Refrain]
3 Make me feel Thee ever nigh,
Draw my heart to Thee on high;
Be Thou my supreme delight,
Help me walk as in Thy sight. [Refrain]
4 By Thy Spirit let me be
Sanctified, to dwell with Thee;
Then, with all the hosts above,
Will I praise redeeming love. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Tune Title: [Blessed Jesus, God the Word]
At Thy Feet
