<p>Lord, I cannot let Thee go,<br>
|
|
[<em>originally</em>, Nay, I cannot let Thee go]<br>
|
|
Till a blessing Thou bestow:<br>
|
|
Do not turn away Thy face,<br>
|
|
Mine’s an urgent, pressing case.</p>
|
|
<p>Dost Thou ask me who I am?<br>
|
|
Ah! my Lord, Thou know’st my name;<br>
|
|
Yet the question gives a plea<br>
|
|
To support my suit with Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou didst once a wretch behold,<br>
|
|
In rebellion blindly bold,<br>
|
|
Scorn Thy grace, Thy power defy:<br>
|
|
That poor rebel, Lord, was I.</p>
|
|
<p>Once a sinner, near despair,<br>
|
|
Sought Thy mercy seat by prayer;<br>
|
|
Mercy heard, and set him free:<br>
|
|
Lord, that mercy came to me.</p>
|
|
<p>Many days have passed since then,<br>
|
|
Many changes I have seen;<br>
|
|
Yet have been upheld till now;<br>
|
|
Who could hold me up but Thou?</p>
|
|
<p>Thou hast helped in every need;<br>
|
|
This emboldens me to plead:<br>
|
|
After so much mercy past,<br>
|
|
Canst Thou let me sink at last?</p>
|
|
<p>No, I must maintain my hold;<br>
|
|
’Tis Thy goodness makes me bold;<br>
|
|
I can no denial take,<br>
|
|
When I plead for Jesus’ sake.</p>
