Verse 1

HOW shall a sinner find The Saviour of mankind? Canst Thou not accept my prayer? Not bestow the grace I claim? Where are Thy old mercies? All the powers of Jesu’s name?

Verse 2

I will not let Thee go Till I Thy mercy know; Let me hear the welcome sound, Speak, if still Thou canst forgive; Speak, and let the lost be found; Speak, and let the dying live.

Verse 3

Thy love is all my plea, Thy passion speaks for me; By Thy pangs and bloody sweat, By Thy depths of grief unknown, Save me, gasping at Thy feet, Save, O save Thy ransomed one.

Verse 4

What hast Thou done for me? O think on Calvary! By Thy mortal groans and sighs, By Thy precious death I pray, Hear my dying spirit’s cries. Take, O take my sins away! Amen.
