When at Thy Footstool, Lord, I Bend
"Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit. I have found a ransom." - Job 33:24
VERSE 1
When at Thy footstool, Lord, I bend,
And plead with thee for mercy there,
Think of the sinner's dying Friend,
And for His sake receive my prayer.
VERSE 2
Oh think not of my shame and guilt,
My thousand stains of deepest dye;
Think of the blood which Jesus split,
My pardon and my life to buy.
VERSE 3
Think, Lord, how I am still Thine own,
The trembling creature of Thy hand;
Think how my heart to sin is prone,
And what temptations round me stand.
VERSE 4
Oh think upon Thy holy word
And every plighted promise there;
How pray'r should evermore be heard,
And how Thy glory is to spare.
VERSE 5
Oh think not of my doubts and fears,
My strivings with Thy grace divine,
Think upon Jesus' woes and tears,
And let His merits stand for mine.
VERSE 6
Thine eye, Thine ear, they are not dull;
Thine arm can never shorten'd be;
Behold me here; my heart is full,
Behold, and spare, and succour me.
