Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CGH2010 #401 (2010) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Person Name: Horatius Bonar Lyrics: 1 No, not despairingly
come I to Thee;
no, not distrustingly
bend I the knee:
sin hath gone over me,
yet is this still my plea:
Jesus hath died.
2 Ah! mine iniquity
crimson hath been,
infinite, infinite
sin upon sin:
sin of not loving Thee,
sin of not trusting Thee,
infinite sin.
3 Lord, I confess to Thee
sadly my sin;
all I am tell I Thee,
all I have been:
purge Thou my sin away,
wash Thou my soul this day:
Lord, make me clean.
4 Faithful and just art Thou,
forgiving all;
loving and kind art Thou
when poor ones call:
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
blood of the Lamb of God,
pass o'er my soul.
5 Then all is peace and light
this soul within;
thus shall I walk with Thee,
the loved Unseen;
leaning on Thee, my God,
guided along the road,
nothing between. Topics: The Church at Worship Prayer; Confession of Sin; Jesus Christ-Redeemer; Prayer; Repentance; Sin Languages: English Tune Title: KEDRON
