Saviour, hear me while before thy feet

1. Saviour, hear me while before thy feet 
I the record of my sins repeat. 
Stained with guilt, myself abhorring, 
filled with grief, my soul outpouring; 
canst thou still in mercy think of me, 
stoop to set my shackled spirit free, 
raise my sinking heart and bid me be 
Thy child once more? 
Is there grace my every debt to pay, 
blood to wash my every sin away, 
power to keep me spotless day by day, 
for me, for me? 

2. All the memories of deeds gone by 
rise within me and thy power defy; 
with a deathly chill ensnaring, 
they would leave my soul despairing. 
Saviour, take my hand, I cannot tell 
how to stem the tides that round me swell, 
how to ease my conscience, or to quell 
my flaming heart. 
Is there grace...

3. Yet why should I fear? Hast thou not died 
that no seeking soul should be denied? 
To that heart, its sins confessing, 
canst thou fail to give a blessing? 
By the love and pity thou hast shown, 
by the blood that did for me atone, 
boldly will I kneel before thy throne, 
a pleading soul.
Is there grace...

4. All the rivers of thy grace I claim, 
over every promise write my name; 
as I am I come, believing, 
as thou art thou dost receiving, 
bid me rise a free and pardoned slave, 
master o'er my sin, the world, the grave, 
charging me to preach thy power to save 
yo sinbound souls.
Grace there is my every debt to pay, 
blood to wash my every sin away, 
power to keep me spotless day by day, 
for me, for me!
