Representative Text

1 O my Savior, I am weary!
Let my cry to Thee ascend
While in humble supplication
Now before Thy throne I bend!

Refrain:
weak and helpless, yet believing,
Casting all my care on Thee,
I am hoping, trusting, praying;
Have compassion, Lord, on me!

2 O my Savior, tho' unworthy,
I have no where else to go;
Thou canst pardon my transgressions,
Thou canst wash me white as snow! [Refrain]

3 O my Savior, by Thy Spirit
Thou hast called me o'er and oer;
Now repentant I am coming;
Lord, my wand'ring soul restore! [Refrain]

4 O my Savior, do not leave me
Here to perish at Thy throne;
In Thy tender, loving mercy
Cleanse and make me all Thine own! [Refrain]
