Fears Removed

Unclean, unclean, and full of sin

Representative Text

1 Unclean! unclean! and full of sin,
From first to last, alas, I've been!
Deceitful is my heart:
Guilt presses down my burden'd soul,
But Jesus can the waves control,
And bid my fears depart.

2 When first I heard his word of grace,
Ungratefully I hid my face,
Ungratefully delay'd:
At length his voice more powerful came,
" 'Tis I" he cry'd "I'm still the same,
"Thou need's not be afraid."

3 My heart was chang'd--in that same hour
My soul confess'd his mighty pow'r,
I shed a grateful tear;
Then listen'd still to hear his voice,
Again he said, "in me rejoice,
" 'Tis I, thou need's not fear."

4 "Unworthy of thy love," I cry'd,
"Freely I love," he soon reply'd,
"On me thy faith be staid;
"I'm Jesus still, the sinner's friend.
"Thou need'st not be afraid."
