Representative Text

1 Saviour give, oh, give me rest
For this torn and troubled breast;
Sin has bound me with its chain,
Come thou Lamb for sinners slain.

Chorus:
Saviour heal, oh, heal me now,
As before thy throne I bow;
All my tears cannot redeem,
Plunge me in the crimson stream.

2 Come, oh, come, with me abide,
Let me feel thy blood applied;
Humbly at thy feet I bow,
In my weakness heal me now. [Chorus]

3 If I aught withhold from thee,
Break the bond and set me free;
Come and bid all sin depart,
Stamp thine image on my heart. [Chorus]

4 Now, just now, I feel the flood,
'Tis the ever precious blood;
I am thine, and this is bliss,
'Tis thy reconciling kiss. [Chorus]
