Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #303 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Am I forbid to trust thy blood? Hast thou not pardons, rich and free? And grace, an overwhelming flood? 2 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound-- To limit mercy's sovereign reign: What other happy souls have found, I'll seek; nor shall I seek in vain. 3 I own my guilt; my sins confess; Can men or devils make them more? Of crimes, already numberless, Vain the attempt to swell the score. 4 Were the black list before my sight, While I remember thou hast died, 'Twould only urge my speedier flight To seek salvation at thy side. 5 Low at thy feet I'll cast me down, To thee reveal my guilt and fear; And--if thou spurn me from thy throne-- I'll be the first who perish'd there.
