O Thou, the Contrite Sinner’s Friend (EN 5729)

EN 5729 O Thou, the Contrite Sinner’s Friend

1John.2.1

Versi Version 1

1

O Thou, the contrite sinner’s Friend,

Who loving, lov’st them to the end,

On this alone my hopes depend,

That Thou wilt plead for me.

2

When weary in the Christian race,

Far off appears my resting place,

And, fainting, I mistrust Thy grace,

Then, Savior, plead for me.

3

When I have erred and gone astray,

Afar from Thine and wisdom’s way,

And see no glimmering, guiding ray,

Still, Savior, plead for me.

4

When Satan, by my sins made bold,

Strives from Thy cross to loose my hold,

Then with Thy pitying arms infold,

And plead, O plead for me.

5

And when my dying hour draws near,

Darkened with anguish, guilt, and fear,

Then to my fainting sight appear,

Pleading in Heav’n for me.

6

When the full light of heavenly day

Reveals my sins in dread array,

Say Thou hast washed them all away;

O say, Thou plead’st for me!
