Verse 1
God of all grace and patience, hear
My supplicating cry,
And show me thy salvation near
While at the point to die.
Verse 2
Before my soul and body part,
The carnal enmity,
The plague expel out of my heart,
And part my sin and me.
Verse 3
Such power belongs to Thee alone
Who didst for sinners bleed,
And purchase by thy dying groan
The benefits I need:
Verse 4
Thou shed’st thy blood, that I might find
Redemption in thy blood,
And seperated from sin, be join’d
Eternally to God.
Verse 5
Thy own kind purpose to fulfil,
Come, Saviour, from above,
And rooting out the inbred ill,
Fill all my soul with love;
Verse 6
Finish the first transgression, Thou
Who hast my sins forgiven,
And lo, my willing head I bow,
And go in peace to heaven!
