I come to Thee, Thou Son of God,
And be­fore Thy al­tar fall;
Spare not on me Thy chast­en­ing rod,
O hear me as on Thy name I call.

Refrain

Savior, Sav­ior,
Hear my ear­nest cry;
O hear and save me, save me,
Or I die.

I me­rit naught but death, I know,
But I pray Thee to for­give;
On me, Thy mer­cy, Lord, be­stow,
And let me but serve Thee while I live.

Refrain

My sins I lay be­fore Thee now,
And with all my heart con­fess
Thou art my God, to Thee I bow,
Lord Je­sus, Thou Son of Right­eous­ness.

Refrain

I will not let Thee go, dear Lord,
Till my sins are all for­giv­en;
I plead the pro­mise of Thy word,
O hear me and make me fit for Heav’n.
