Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #312 (1870) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, that hear’st 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 suffer'd once for me.
2 Slain in the guilty sinner’s stead,
His spotless Righteousness I plead,
And His atoning Blood;
That Righteousness my robe shall be,
Thy Merit shall atone for me,
And bring me near to God.
3 Then save me from eternal 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. The king of terrors then would be
A welcome messenger to me,
To bid me come away:
Unclogged by earth, or earthly things,
I’d mount, I’d fly with eager wings,
To everlasting day. Topics: Faith Justification by; Faith In Christ; Forgiveness Of Sin; Justification by Faith; Pardon; Salvation By faith Languages: English
