Representative Text

1 O blessed feet of Jesus, weary with seeking me!
Stand at God’s bar of judgment and intercede for me,

2 O knees which bent in anguish in dark Gethsemane!
Kneel at the throne of glory and intercede for me,

3 O Hands that were extended upon the awful tree!
Hold up those precious nail-prints and intercede for me,
Hold up those precious nail-prints and intercede for me.

4 O Side from whence the spear-point bro’t blood and water free!
For healing and for cleansing! still intercede for me,
For healing and for cleansing! still intercede for me.
