Sovereign ruler, Lord of all
Prostrate at thy feet we fall:
Hear, oh hear our ardent cry,
Frown not, lest we faint and die.
Vilest of the sons of men,
Chief of sinners we have been:
Oft have sinned before thy face;
Trampled on thy richest grace.
Justly might thy fatal dart,
Pierce our guilty, broken heart;
Justly might thy righteous breath
Doom us to eternal death.
But with thee there's mercy found,
Balm to heal my every wound;
Sooth, oh sooth the troubled breast,
Give the weary wanderer rest.
Jesus! save out dying soul;
Make our broken spirit whole:
Humbled in the dust we lie;
Saviour! Leave us not to die.
---Alternative verses---
Sovereign ruler, Lord of all
Prostrate at thy feet I fall:
Hear, oh hear my ardent cry,
Frown not, lest I faint and die.
Vilest of the sons of men,
Worst of rebels I have, been!
Oft abused thee to thy face,
Trampled on thy richest grace.
Justly might thy vengeful dart,
Pierce this bleeding, broken heart;
Justly might thy kindled ire
Blast me in eternal fire.
