Saviour, canst thou love a traitor?
Canst thou love a child of wrath?
Can a hell-deserving creature
Be the purchase of thy death?
Is thy blood so efficacious,
As to make my nature clean?
Is thy sacrifice so precious,
As to free me from my sin?
Sin on ev’ry side surrounds me;
No acquittance can I hear;
Pangs of unbelief confound me,
Help me, Lord, my grief to bear.
Here then is my resolution,
At thy dearest feet to fall;
Here l’ll meet my condemnation,
Or a freedom from my thrall.
Now deny thy grace and mercy,
If thou canst, to wretched me;
Lay aside thy love and pity,
If thou canst, and let me die!
If I meet with condemnation,
Justly I deserve the same;
If I meet with free salvation,
I will magnify thy name.
