God most ho¤ly in Thy mer¤cy
Heark¤en to my cry,
In the wor¤thy name of Je¤sus
I would now draw nigh.

Chorus:
If I per¤ish, I must per¤ish,
This is all my plea,
Fa¤ther, see the blood of sprink¤ling
Je¤sus shed for me.

Lo, the ho¤li¤est is o¤pen,
There be¤fore Thy Throne,
Christ the Ho¤ly One is speak¤ing,
Claim¤ing me His own.

Though the least and most un¤wor¤thy,
Hear me gra¤cious¤ly,
This a¤lone is my sal¤va¤tion–
Je¤sus died for me.

Lord, my bro¤ken heart needs heal¤ing,
Whith¤er shall I flee?
There is none on earth to suc¤cor,
None in heav’n but Thee.

All my hope and ex¤pec¤ta¤tion
Is in Thee a¤lone,
All my pov¤er¤ty of spir¤it
Un¤to Thee is known.

Lord, I fain would be like Je¤sus,
Filled with love di¤vine,
Grace and truth o’er me pre¤vail¤ing,
Lost, my will in Thine.

Let Thy King¤dom come, my Fa¤ther,
Let Thy word be done,
When my heart this prayer can ut¤ter
Hence¤forth we are one.
