GOD of my salvation, hear,
By A Collection of Hymns

      7s & 6s.
      1 GOD of my salvation, hear,
      And help me to believe!
      Simply do I now draw near,
      Thy blessing to receive:
      Full of sin, alas! I am,
      But to thy wounds for refuge flee;
      Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
      Thy blood was shed for me.

      2 Standing now as newly slain,
      To thee I lift mine eye!
      Balm of all my grief and pain,
      Thy grace is always nigh:
      Now, as yesterday, the same
      Thou art, and wilt for ever be;
      Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
      Thy blood was shed for me.

      3 Nothing have I, Lord, to pay,
      Nor can thy grace procure,
      Empty send me not away,
      For I, thou know'st, am poor:
      Dust and ashes is my name,
      My all is sin and misery;
      Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
      Thy blood was shed for me.

      4 No good word, or work, or thought,
      Bring I to gain thy grace;
      Pardon I accept unbought,
      Thy proffer I embrace,
      Coming, as at first I came,
      To take, and not bestow on thee;
      Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
      Thy blood was shed for me.

      5 Saviour, from thy wounded side
      I never will depart;
      Here will I my spirit hide
      When I am pure in heart:
      Till my place above I claim,
      This only shall be all my plea,
      Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
      Thy blood was shed for me.
