1 Dear Lord, remember me, A sinner weak and vile, Full of impiety, And fraught with sin and guile, I cannot hope but in thy blood; Remember me, O Lord, for good.
2 [Unable to depend On nature-strength and power, Jesus, my soul befriend; Teach me to trust thee more; Save me from sin and all its smart; O save me from my treacherous heart!]
3 Upon thy oath I rest; My feeble soul secure; By sin I am oppressed, But thy salvation’s sure; Though like a bottle in the smoke, I know thy vessels can’t be broke.
4 [’Tis true, dear Lord, I am A sinner vile indeed! Yet hoping in the Lamb, Who deigned for such to bleed; And while the Spirit seals my heart, My soul believes we ne’er shall part.]
5 Christ ever will defend The people of his choice; He loves them without end, And in them does rejoice; For them he shed his precious blood, And will present them all to God. | A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #214 (1844) |
