The Minstrel of Zion ‎#150a

150a. The penitent's prayer

1 Jesus, save my dying soul,
Make the broken spirit whole;
Humbled in the dust I lie,
Saviour, leave me not to die.

2 Jesus, full of every grace,
Now reveal thy smiling face;
Grant the joy of saints forgiven,
Foretaste of the bliss of heaven.

3 All my guilt to thee is known;
Thou art righteous, thou alone:
All my help is from thy cross,
All beside I count but loss.

4 Lord, in thee I now believe;
Wilt thou, wilt thou not forgive?
Helpless at thy feet I lie,
Saviour, leave me not to die.
