O what a dreadful history, It fills my soul with fear; I’m sorry, Lord, for what I’ve done, I cry for help to Thee; Now for the sake of Thy dear Son, Have mercy, Lord, on me. Refrain: Lord, in thy blessèd Word I’ve read About a "living way," And that the blood of Christ was shed To wash my sins away. 2 In years that now are past and gone The prophet gave a call, And this was it—"Ho, every one"; That surely must mean all, And if he called to every one I’m surely counted in; My doubts and fears are almost gone, To trust I now begin. [Refrain] 3 He bade them "to the waters come," He spoke of "milk and wine"; I’m thirsty, Father, give me some, What Jesus bought is mine: I drink, I drink, by living faith, I feel my sins forgiven; The merits of my Savior’s death Makes me an heir to Heaven. [Refrain] Languages: Latin Tune Title: GALÁPAGOS
