FOR ever here my rest shall be,
By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 FOR ever here my rest shall be,
      Close to thy bleeding side;
      This all my hope, and all my plea,
      For me the Saviour died!

      2 My dying Saviour, and my God,
      Fountain for guilt and sin,
      Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
      And cleanse, and keep me clean.

      3 Wash me, and make me thus thine own,
      Wash me, and mine thou art,
      Wash me, but not my feet alone,
      My hands, my head, my heart.

      4 The atonement of thy blood apply,
      Till faith to sight improve,
      Till hope in full fruition die,
      And all my soul be love.
