6,6,6,6,8,8 tr., John Brownlie I When at Thy feet, oppressed, The burdened sinner falls, And, woeful and distressed, Upon Thy mercy calls, -- O hear the penitential prayer, Forgive the burdened sinner there. II Did'st Thou not send the Son, To shew the Father's grace, To bid a world undone Arise and seek His face? And wilt Thou not in mercy say, "Thy many sins I take away"? III Yea, Thou wilt not despise The soul's uplifted prayer; Nor when our hopes arise, Plunge us in deep despair; But wilt forgive the evil done, Through Christ the Well Beloved Son. IV O Jesus Christ, by Thee The Father's grace is found, And pardon full, and we With every good abound, -- We see Thee nailed upon the tree, And know all blessing comes from Thee. |
