Jesus, help thy fallen creature!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #478 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Jesus, help thy fallen creature! Conqueror of the world thou art, Stronger than the foe, and greater Than this poor rebellious heart: Power I know to thee is given, Power to sentence or release, Power to shut or open heaven; thou alone hast all the keys. 2 Open, then, in great compassion, Open mercy's door to me, Out of mighty tribulation Bring me forth thy face to see; O cut short my days of mourning Quickly to my rescue come, Let me joyfully returning Reach my everlasting home. 3 Hear me, Lord, myself bemoaning, Banish'd from my native place, Languishing for God, and groaning To appear before thy face: From this bodily oppression Set my earnest spirit free, Give me now the full possession, Let me now thy glory see. 4 If thou ever didst discover To my faith the promis'd land, Bid me now the stream pass over, On that heavenly border stand, Now surmount whate'er opposes, Into thine embraces fly; Speak the word thou spak'st to Moses, Bid me get me up, and die. Topics: Christian experience Christian in the prospect of death; The dying Christian Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:49
