O And lost, without thy grace,
Thy mercy I implore,
And wait to see thy face:
Begging, I sit by the way-side.
And long to know thee, crucified.
2 Jesus, attend my cry,
Thou Son of David, hear ;
If now thou passeth by,
Stand still and call me near;
The darkness from my heart remove,
And show me now thy pard’ning love.

VV The humble sinner turns,
His brightest deeds he counts but dross,
And o’er his vileness mourns.

Inscribes his love and fear ;

But takes no refuge there.
3 Thus gospel, law, and justice too,
Conspire to set him free ;
Reflect, my soul, admire and view
What God hath done for thee.
