Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: Church Book #446 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Redeemer, whither should I flee,
Or how escape the wrath to come
The weary sinner flies to Thee
For shelter from impending doom:
Smile on me, gracious Lord, and show
Thyself the Friend of sinners now.
2 Beneath the shadow of Thy Cross
My heavy-laden soul finds rest:
Let me esteem the world as dross,
So I may be of Thee possest!
I borrow every joy of Thee,
For Thou art Life and Light to me.
3 Close to my Saviour's bloody Tree
My soul, untired, shall ever cleave;
Despised and crucified with Thee,
With Christ resolved to die and live:
My prayer, my grand ambition this,
Living and dying, to be His. Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week; Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: COLMAR
