Representative Text

1 My trust is in Jesus alone,
For mercy on Him I rely;
For me did His blood once atone,
For me did He suffer and die.

Refrain:
For me, for me,
What mercy, what mercy, for me,
For me, for me,
What mercy, what mercy for me!

2 He died for the guilty and lost,
His promise or pardon is free;
To save me how great was the cost!
What mercy He offers to me! [Refrain]

3 Then all that I have I will give,
I’ll lay it all down at His feet;
This life for my Saviour I’ll live,
To serve Him is precious and sweet. [Refrain]

Kenyon, Archibald, was born at Athol, Warren County, New York, July 31, 1813, and entered the Baptist ministry in 1838. He has written a large number of hymns, several of which are found in the Royal Diadem, Pure Gold, Our Glad Hosanna, Glad Refrain, and other American Sunday Schools and Mission hymn-books. "Jesus, hear me when I pray" (Divine Help desired) in Our Glad Hosanna, 1882, is a good example of his work. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)… Go to person page >
