Hymn/Song Information

Lord didst thou die but not for me Am I forbid to




Lord, didst thou die—but not for me?
Am I forbid to trust thy blood?
Hast thou not pardons rich and free;
And grace, an overwhelming flood?


Who, then, shall drive my trembling soul
From thee to regions of despair?
Who has surveyed the sacred roll,
And found my name not written there?


Presumptuous thought, to fix the bound,
To limit mercy’s sovereign reign:
What other happy souls have found
I'll seek, nor shall I seek in vain.


I own my guilt, my sins confess:
Can men or devils make them more?
Of crimes already numberless,
Who will attempt to swell the score?


Were all my crimes before my sight,
While I remember thou hast died,
They would but urge my speedier flight
To seek salvation at thy side.


Low at thy feet I'll cast me down,
To thee reveal my guilt and fear;
And, if thou spurn me from thy throne,
I'll be the first who perished there.
