The Penitent's Plea
Author: H. H. Appears in 67 hymnals First Line: Savior, hear me, while before Thy feet Refrain First Line: Grace there is my ev'ery debt to pay Lyrics: 1 Saviour, hear me, while before Thy feet
I the record of my sins repeat,
Stain’d with guilt, myself abhorring,
Fill’d 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!
Refrain:
Grace there is my every debt to pay,
Blood to wash my every sin away,
Pow’r to keep me sinless day by day,
For me, for me!
2 Yet, why should I fear, hast Thou not died
That no seeking soul should be denied,
To that heart its sins confessing,
Can’st 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. [Refrain]
3 All the rivers of Thy grace I claim,
Over ev’ry 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 pow’r to save,
To sin-bound souls. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Savior, hear me, while before Thy feet]

Past the haunting memories of years,

And a broken heart before it lay;
Ere I leave, oh, let me hear Thee say,
It shall be thine! [Refrain]

Boldly will I kneel before Thy throne,
A pleading soul. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Savior, hear me, while before Thy feet]

I the record of my sins repeat,

Grace there is my ev'ry debt to pay,
Blood to wash my ev'ry sin away,
Pow’r to keep me sinless day by day,
For me, for me!
2 All the memories of deeds gone by
Rise within me and Thy pow'r defy;
With a deadly chill ensnaring,
they would leave my soul despairing.
Savior, 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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]

Over ev'ry promise write my name;
As I am I come believing,
As Thou art Thou dost, receiving,
Bid me rise a free and pardon'd slave;
Master o'er my sin, the world, the grave,
Charging me to preach Thy power to save
To sin-bound souls. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Savior, hear me, while before Thy feet]
