383. Jesus, hear my humble pleading

1 Jesus, hear my humble pleading,
Lowly at thy feet I lie;
Thou for such art interceding
At the Father's throne on high.
Friend of sinners, blessed Saviour,
Let me linger 'neath thy Cross;
Seeking there thy gracious favor,
All things else I count but loss. A-men.

2 Near the mercy-seat abiding
Let my soul thy glory see;
In thy grace alone confiding,
Perfect peace I find in thee.
Tune my heart to sing thy praises
Till I join the heavenly throng
Which through endless ages raises
Sweetest praise with harp and song.

Amen.
