My Intercessor

Author: E. S. C. Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 3 #154 (1918) First Line: Once I knelt in anguish, pleading Lyrics: 1 Once I knelt in anguish, pleading Each dear promise of the word; While for me was interceding Jesus Christ my gracious Lord. Then my soul in sweet submission, Yielded to the Spirit’s pow’r; And I knew I was forgiven, In that well remembered hour; Yes, I knew I was forgiven, In that well remembered hour. 2 Once again I knelt in sorrow O’er the evil found within; While I plead for perfect cleansing From the last remains of sin, And the Christ I knew had saved me, With His outstretched, wounded palm Touched the throne and my sad spirit, Quickly bringing healing balm; Touched the throne and my sad spirit, Quickly bringing healing balm. 3 In the silence of communion, Clearly came the Spirit’s call; “Go and work: lo, I am with you, Do not fear, whate’er befall.” So I’ll labor with the workers, Where the waving fields appear; And I’ll glean among the reapers, Till the evening shades draw near; Yes, I’ll glean among the reapers, Till the evening shades draw near. 4 When I reach the Holy City, And its gates behind me close, I shall bid farewell to conflict, And to all my earthly woes. How my heart will swell with rapture, When my loved ones I shall see; But my blessed Intercessor Will be more than all to me; Yes, my blessed Intercessor Will be more than all to me.
