Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #61 (1890) First Line: Lord! I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord! I cannot let thee go,
Till a blessing thou bestow;
Do not turn away thy face,
Mine's an urgent, pressing case.
2 Once a sinner, near despair,
Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer;
Mercy heard and set him free
Lord! that mercy came to me.
3 Many days have passed since then,
Many changes I have seen;
Yet have been upheld till now,
Who could hold me up but thou?
4 Thou hast helped in every need
This emboldens me to plead;
After so much mercy past,
Canst thou let me sink at last?
5 No--I must maintain my hold;
'Tis thy goodness makes me bold;
I can no denial take,
Since I plead for Jesus' sake. Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Close of Worship; God Mercy; Mercy-seat; Opening of Service; Prayer; Close of Worship; God Mercy; Mercy-seat; Opening of Service; Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: HORTON
