Representative Text

1 A trembling soul I come to thee,
And, if there yet is room for me
In yonder fount so full and free,
Dear Saviour, cleanse me now.

Refrain:
Cleanse me now, cleanse me now,
Blessed Saviour, cleanse me now;
A trembling soul I come to thee,
Dear Saviour, cleanse me now.

2 I come in simple faith alone,
To plead thy merits,—not my own;
I lay my heart before thy throne,
Dear Saviour, cleanse me now. [Refrain]

3 I long to feel thy power divine,
To see thy light around me shine,
And know henceforth that I am thine,
Dear Saviour, cleanse me now. [Refrain]

4 My life and breath, my heart and soul,
I gladly yield to thy control;
Oh, let the healing waters roll,
Dear Saviour, cleanse me now. [Refrain]
