Lord, I Cannot Let Thee Go

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3732 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Lord, I cannot let Thee go, [originally, Nay, I cannot let Thee go] Till a blessing Thou bestow: Do not turn away Thy face, Mine’s an urgent, pressing case. 2. Dost Thou ask me who I am? Ah! my Lord, Thou know’st my name; Yet the question gives a plea To support my suit with Thee. 3. Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold, Scorn Thy grace, Thy power defy: That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4. Once a sinner, near despair, Sought Thy mercy seat by prayer; Mercy heard, and set him free: Lord, that mercy came to me. 5. Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but Thou? 6. Thou hast helped in every need; This emboldens me to plead: After so much mercy past, Canst Thou let me sink at last? 7. No, I must maintain my hold; ’Tis Thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, When I plead for Jesus’ sake. Languages: English Tune Title: SEYMOUR
