470. O Thou that hearest the prayer of faith

1 O Thou that hearest the prayer of faith,
Wilt thou not save a soul from death
That casts itself on thee?
I have no refuge of my own,
But fly to what my Lord hath done,
And suffered once for me.

2 Slain in the guilty sinner's stead,
His spotless righteousness I plead,
And his availing blood:
That righteousness my robe shall be,
That merit shall atone for me,
And bring me near to God.

3 Then save me from the second death,
The Spirit of adoption breathe,
His consolations send;
By him some word of life impart,
And sweetly whisper to my heart,
"Thy Maker is thy friend."

4 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone;
Come, take possession of thine own;
For thou hast set me free:
Released from Satan's hard command,
See all my powers in waiting stand,
To be employed by thee.
