CXXII. Sense of Pardon desired

1 Thy presence, Saviour, may I feel,
O stamp me with thy spirit's seal
LORD< seal my pardon with thy blood,
And let me know I'm born of GOD.

2 One precious drop, LORD JESUS, grant
O! for one precous drop I pant1
By faith apply thy healing blood,
That I may cry, My LORD, my GOD.

3 Sprinkle it on my conscience, LORD,
O let me hear the pow'r ful word,
That rais'd the dead, and chears the soul,
And makes the sin-sick sinner whole.

4 And when this mortal life is o'er,
And pain and sinning is no more,
Receive my soul to thy bless'd home:
O come, LORD JESUS, quickly come!
