VERSE 1
Wherewith, O God, shall I draw near,
And bow myself before Thy face?
How in Thy purer eyes appear?
What shall I bring to gain Thy grace?
VERSE 2
Whoe'er to Thee themselves approve
Must take the path Thy word hath showed,
Justice pursue, and mercy love,
And humbly walk by faith with God.
VERSE 3
But though my life henceforth be Thine,
Present for past can ne'er atone;
Though I to Thee the whole resign,
I only give Thee back Thine own.
VERSE 4
What have I then wherein to trust?
I nothing have, I nothing am;
Excluded is my every boast,
My glory swallow'd up in shame.
VERSE 5
Guilty I stand before Thy face,
On me I feel Thy wrath abide;
'Tis just the sentence should take place,
'Tis just but O Thy Sone hath died!
VERSE 6
Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled,
He bore our sins upon the tree;
Beneath our curse He bow'd His head;
'Tis finished! He hath died for me!
VERSE 7
See where before the throne He stands,
And pours the all-prevailing prayer;
Points to His side, and lifts His hands,
And shows that I am graven there.
VERSE 8
He ever lives for me to pray;
He prays that I with Him may reign;
Amen to what my Lord doth say!
Jesus, Thou hast not pray in vain.
