Representative Text

1 Jesus, Thou the friend of sinners—
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
From my load of guilt and sorrow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

Refrain:
Save me now, oh, Jesus save me!
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
O take from me my guilt and sorrow;
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

2 I am poor and weak and empty;
Tempted oft, and full of sin;
With Thy blood once shed for sinners,
Wash me, Lord, and make me clean. [Refrain]

3 "Just as I am" now, dear Savior
Seek I pardon, rest and peace;
By Thy healing touch, dear Savior,
Make my love for Thee increase. [Refrain]

4 Hearing, I believed, repented;
Now confess Thy holy name;
To be buried in Thy likeness,
Cleansing all my guilt and shame. [Refrain]

5 Take me, Lord, and use me ever;
Let me work, and watch and pray;
Leading lost and ruined sinners,
To the straight and narrow way. [Refrain]
