Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
Oh, how shall I appear!
2 But there's forgiveness, Lord, with Thee;
Thy nature is benign:
Thy pardoning mercy I implore,
For mercy, Lord, is Thine.
3 Oh, let Thy boundless mercy shine
On my benighted soul!
Correct my passions, mend my heart,
And all my fears control.
4 And may I taste Thy richer grace,
In that decisive hour,
When Christ to judgment shall descend
And time shall be no more.
Amen. Topics: Confession of Sin; Contrition; Penitence; Repentance Used With Tune: HOWARD
