Joy to the World ‎#17

17. No Not Despairingly

1 No, not despairingly
Come I to thee;
No, not distrustingly
Bend I the knee;
Sin hath gone over me,
Yet this is still my plea;
Jesus hath died for me,
Jesus hath died.

2 Lord, I confess to thee
Sadly my sin!
Now, tell I all to thee,
All I have been;
Purge thou my sin away,
Wash thou my soul this day,
Take thou my sin away;
Lord, make me clean.

3 Faithful and just art thou,
Forgiving all,
Loving and kind art thou,
When sorrows call;
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
Let the dear healing flood,
Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.
