Though I should seek to wash me clean

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #64 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Job 9:30-33 Lyrics: 1 Though I should seek to wash me clean In waters of the driven snow, My soul would yet in spots retain, And sink in conscious guilt and wo: 2 The spirit, in his power divine, Would cast my vaunting soul to earth, Expose the foulness of its sin, And show the vileness of its worth. 3 Ah, not like erring man is God, That men to answer him should dare. Condemn'd, and into silence awed, They helpless stand before his bar. 4 There, must a Mediator plead, Who, God and man, may both embrace; With God, for man to intercede, And offer man the purchased grace. 5 And lo! the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crown'd: In Him, my soul, be cleansed from stain, In Him thy righteousness be found.

The invitation I embrace; I'll seek thy face; thy Spirit give! O let me see thy face, and live. 3 I'll wait, perhaps my Lord may come; If I turn back, hell is my doom; And begging in his way, I'll lie Till the dear Savior passes by. 4 I'll seek his face with cries and tears, With secret sighs and fervent pray'rs; And if not heard, I'll waiting sit, And perish at my Savior's feet. 5 But canst thou, Lord, see all my pain, And bid me seek thy face in vain? No! Jesus will not, can't deceive, The soul that seeks his face shall live. Topics: Holy Spirit Repentance Languages: English
