lyrics
GOD of my salvation, hear, and help me to believe!
Simply do I now draw near, Thy blessing to receive:
Standing now as newly slain, to thee I lift mine eye!
Balm of all my grief and pain, Thy grace is always nigh:
Full of sin, alas! I am, but to thy wounds for refuge flee;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, Thy blood was shed for me.
Nothing have I, Lord, to pay, nor can thy grace procure,
Empty send me not away, for you know I am poor:
No good word, or work, or thought, bring I to gain thy grace;
Pardon I accept unbought, Thy offer I embrace,
Dust and ashes is my name, my all is sin and misery;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, Thy blood was shed for me.
Savior, from thy wounded side I never will depart;
Here will I my spirit hide when I am pure in heart:
Till my place above I claim, this only shall be all my plea,
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, Thy blood was shed for me.
