Gold Tried in the Fire ‎#229

229. I'm Waiting, Dear Redeemer

1 I come to Thee, dear Savior,
So sick with sin and grief;
O give me Thy rich favor,
And grant my soul relief.

Chorus:
I’m waiting, dear Redeemer,
Around the mercy-seat;
O save my soul, and make me whole,
While kneeling at Thy feet.

2 I come to Thee for cleansing
From ev’ry stain of sin;
I pray for Thy great blessing
Of purity within. [Chorus]

3 A sacrifice I offer,
Of body, spirit, soul;
My service, Lord, I proffer,
If Thou wilt make me whole. [Chorus]

4 The purging fire consumeth
The gift I offer Thee;
Thy hallowed light illumeth,
Thy blood now cleanseth me. [Chorus]
