Savior, hear me, while before Thy feet
I the record of my sins repeat
Stained with guilt, myself abhorring
Filled with grief, my soul outpouring
Canst Thou still in mercy think of me
Stoop to set my shackled spirit free
Raise my sinking heart, and bid me be
Thy child once more (once more)?
Grace there is, my ev'ry debt to pay
Blood to wash my ev'ry sin away
Pow'r to keep me sinless day by day
For me, for me!
Back with all the guilt my spirit bears
Past the haunting memories of years
Self and shame and fear despising
Foes and taunting fiends surprising
Savior, to Thy cross I press my way
And a broken heart before it lay
Ere I leave, O let me hear Thee say
It shall be thine (be Thine)!

All the rivers of Thy grace I claim
Over ev'ry promise write my name
As I am I come believing
As Thou art Thou dost, receiving
Bid me rise a freed and pardoned slave
Master o'er my sin, the world, the grave
Charging me to preach Thy pow'r to save
To sinbound souls (bound souls)
