Take me as I am, O Savior
Better I can never be;
Thou alone canst bring me nearer
Self but draws me far from Thee.
|:I can never:|
|:But within Thy wounds be saved.:|
Wearied of the desert journey
Which through pain and peril goes,
I have failed, alone, to conquer
E’en the meanest of my foes.
|:but the strongest:|
|:Flies before Thy glorious Name.:|
Calvary’s blood the weak exalteth
More than conquerors to be;
Calvary’s blood the strong abaseth
Myriad hosts to bow to Thee.
|:O revive me:|
|:With a breeze from Calvary.:|
I will trust Thy might unmeasured
Great the work that marks Thy way;
Thou hast death, and Thou hast Satan,
Thou hast hell beneath Thy sway;
|:Hill of Calv’ry! :|
|:I shall praise for evermore.:|
